That chap we cussed but yesterday–
We see his point of view today;
What he lacked then, today we’ve not–
What he had then, we wish we’d got.
For he at that time had no car,
(Exactly where, today, WE are!)
But he HAD acquired agility,
A life-saving ability,
And by the time that I catch on,
The cars, I s’pose, will ALL be gone!
