How 4 Very Small Thing Can Start
A Riot Among A Lot of People


HE WAVED his arms.
AND THE horse didn't stop
But GALLOPED right past him
AND BY that time
THERE WE'RE dozen men
AND a horde OF boys
AND THREE or four dogs.
AND THEY were all running
AND THERE were automobiles
THAT NEARLY ran over them
AND OUT Of the hospital
JUST A half a block away
THE AMBULANCE came
AND WENT Changing down the
street.
AND ALL the neighbors.
WERE HANGING from the windows.
AND YELLING for thei- children
AND THE little kid.
THAT I'd been watching
WAS IN the gutter
TRYING To get Up.
AND ALL was excitement.
AND THE poor horse
HAD GONE plumb mad
AND WAS galloping around.
AND KNOCKED a man down.
AND BEAT it for its stable.
AND GOT into its stall.
AND IT'S probably wondering.
WHAT ALI the trouble was about.
BECAUSE 1T doesn't know.
WHAT A little BIT Of q thing.
CAN START q riot.
