IT WAS a whale.
OF A hill, and the old bus.
GROANED AND shuddered.
AND FINALLY stalled.
AND YOU could fry eggs.
ON THE radiator.
WELL,«WHAT I know.
ABOUT BUZZ wagons.
COULD BE written big.
ON A postage stamp.
BUT I fiddled around.
AND TORE my new shirt.
AND GOT all smeared up.
THE ENGINE would start.
BUT LI7ZIE wouldn’t.
NOT ON that hill.
SO I quit and lit up.
ONE OF my cigarettes.
AND THOUGHT it over.
THEN I had a hunch.
PUSHED HER around.
PULLED A thing-a-ma-jlg.
AND THE blame boat.
BACKED UP the hill.

WITHOUT EVEN hesitating.
SO I learned a trick.
WHICH EVERY driver.

SHOULD REMEMBER.
WHEN IN doubt, light up.
A "SATISFY” cigarette.
