My second in my first can speed
Across United States;
My third from Q’s pen we can read,
My whole has water-rates;
My first and second drive my first along,
My third and second drive a mind all wrong.

To puzzle solvers can I shine,
And so my first is writ.
With this my second did combine
To make a happy hit.
My whole, with both fixed in a line
Firm as I can, did fit.

A RUSTIC CHARADE
My first and second are my third,
My third my first and second may be;
My whole, if right you read the word,
May never have a wife or baby.
