So I could buy a Great Big Touring-Car,

And run down Chickens, Dogs, and even Cows!

For it my Future Income did I owe,

And with mine own Hand wrought to make it go;

And this was all the Wisdom that I reap’d—

“We cost like Thunder and like Lightning go!”

And those “Accessories” Advertisements

That offer you Supplies at slight Expense;

You read them over, and they always make

Your own Belongings look like Thirty Cents.
