Verse on the Cowling of a Model T Ford

 

Flapper-sips forever

            No Janes

                        No whisk-brooms

                                    Warm up your dog kennels

                                                And hop with that fire alarm

 

“This is the cat’s particulars, the bee’s knees,”

An owl-flap gushed, “Paper is so middlebrow

We hopper our lines on a motor now

It’s all about the new technologies!

 

“The old ways now stand back to let us pass

The carburetor rhythms our words with air

We write our poems with life, with speed and flair

The beat of the banger is the ultimate gas

 

“We are the apogee of poetry and art

There is no end; there is only our start!

 

“Yippee!”
