NEW VERSION OF MAUDE HULLER

Maud Muller on a summer day, with her feller ran away, in a benzine touring car, scooting to a preacher far. Maud’s father saw the fleeing pair, smblled the benzine scented air; caught a mule whose name was Jane, and galloped down the dusty lane; the mobile very swiftly ran but burned the oil all out of the can. The motor stopped upon a hill, but Jane ran on just fit to kill. Alas for maid, alas for man, alas for empty benzine can. Maud’s daddy on the old gray mule, came and took her off to school. The mule nigh wrecked the benzine cart; the feller died of a broken heart. The moral of this tale so sad: “Don't steal ths girl; go ask her dad.”
