y donkey grazing by the road
Saw ear after car pass him.
And when they blew, twiNt me and you
He thought they meant to sass him
Bucks there were. and ChcvrOlets
Reos. packards. Pierce Arrows;
All CLOSED and glassed. and gliding fast
As hawk after hedge sparrow-
TO put il mid. the mule was rled.
As mad "a a prodded hornet.
And the thoughts he had ike his words
were bad.
And he said much worse than darn Il -
OF course hi- mood and attitude.
We're both eXtremly foolish
But why mule, If you have to rule
y disposition mulish
Al length the mule prickcd UP ms ear,
He heard motor humming
And hy the din and rattle Of tin.
He knew twas 'i.iIzlc coming
on. 40, said ne and the thought
that came
Made him groggy and dizzy
Now, you lust bet. here - wher" get
a crack at Tin Lizzie
So tired with Machievrllan hate.
Or with Old Nick or Adam.
He muletized and modified
Upon the smooth macadam
He faced the same way as the Ford,
On four feet firmly planted.
While set for the shock of lizzie sknock.
His headquarters We're slanted
The driver of the Ford knew not
The donkey : cunning designing.
Nor how his heart under pain and smart,
For stern combat was plnlng.
So. in low gear. ne drove up near
And touched the donkey squarely,
And pushed him once, the silly Ounce
Ever so gently, fairly.
Then did the mule in fury rise.
And with hind legs get busy
And avenged the crime of ears for all
time.
Pierce Arrow or Tin Lizzie
He kicked the hood a. hard as he could.
When tinklc, tingle tinnards,
Surprised and shocked Tin Lizzie
rocked
And groaned in all her innard-
Get out OF the way You could hear
him bray.
If you understood the lingo
Get out of the road and kick he
bestowed
"Or I'll kick YOU oil. by jngo''
So great was his wrath for the thing
in his path,
That this automobile hater.
This mule with a mind like all of his kind.
Kicked out from stern to equator
And bombarded the hood till il was no
good
And rent the radiator,
Till it looked Trey say. like a fount at
play.
Or lava spilled from "A crater
Then satisfied and taking pride
In what he had been doing,
The donkey strolled to sand hole and
rolled
Thence back to grazing and chewing
Not so the driver Of the Ford,
He took her To the repairer.
And he was so mad that il made him sad
That ne was no kind Of a swearer.
But so sore was he that presently
He confessed TO the machnist.
That of MI burned fools he thought
burned mules
The stubbornest and meanest
And here is the end Of the story penned
OF State Highway vendetta.
OF man who tried TO push aside
