So wildly he wheels as if urged by a goad;

By coachmen he's christened "the curse of the road."

He'll pass on the left and he'll ride on the right,

For the rules of the road caring naught;

His lamp he will not take the trouble to light

Till a pretty smart lesson he's taught.

But lecture and fine him as much as you will,

The trail of the scorcher is over him still.
