"A Trne Ford Story"

By a Jasper County Kid.

My Dad he went to Rensselaer, It's more'n a dozen miles from here. He took ma an’ all the kids but me ’Cause I’m gone visitin’ you see. And my Dad he drove Prirce an’ Dick Hitched up to our bran new rig. And everything went smooth they say Until they got about half way. » Then three Ford autos came that way And the horses scared an’ they ran away. They threw pa out, ma tried to jump And oh, she got an awful bump, An ? Sue an’ Bess got out some way; And Jack an Tommy jumped, they say. Prince and Dick ran all they could, The rig was broke to kindlin’ wood. And oh, it was an awful mess But it might have been still worse, I guess. The Ford men stopped an’ brought them home And the doctor set ma’s broken bone. My IJad said, ‘T got wise, you bet, A Ford is what I’m going to get.” And the agent came the other day An’ he left a bran new For k they say. An’ my Dad's wearin’ a Ford smile ’Cause now you see he’s right in style. Now we can go to Rensselaer ’Most ev’ry day in all the year. Band concert nights an’ market day; There’s, no horses now to run away. An’ when I get big like Dad, you bet, A Ford is what I’m goin’ to get. - AXXABELLE BAIER.
