Today's Rhymes on
HIGH COST OF FLIVVING
By EDMUND VANCE COOKE

By EDMUND VANCE COOKE
Life is car
On which we are,
And we're getting ride giving;
And these the themes
OF passengers dreams
Concerning the cost of fivvng.
1.-The Materialist.
"Aw don't be afraid
When you hit the grade:
Grab hold with hrmer grip.
Twon't bother you much
If you work your clutch
And be sure that it doesn't Slip"
"Old Alcohol
Is the cause of it all
And the world has long been fooled
In the radiator
Its cost is greater,
But now, we'll be water-cooled"
II1.-The splenetie.
That its one safe bet
That before this reform is through,
Before we are done
The world will run
On fuli-Hoating axle, too"
Iv-The Psychologist
It's an IN your eye
That fivving is high,
For you're watching the speed indicator.
Detach il, and then
You'll never know when
our mileage IS much or greater"
V-The sophist
Yes, board and keep
Make upward leap
Apd the boarding house rate has scared
And the reason why
That fivving is high
Is because of the running board" ...
VL-The MoraIst
"a little less speed
Is what need
And little more works required
We're lazy class
For by gas
: And boast that yye're
Vu-The Economist
at isn't the car
On which we are
And it isn't the fault of the load
But we're sweating souls e.
And paying tolls s'
