At a certain round-table a good-natured bunch
Of finest of fellows met daily for lunch.
An hour’s interchange of thoughts and ideas,
All would depart each feeling at ease.
They talked of the weather careless and free,
A topic on which they did all agree.
When one would mention the income tax,
It was an occasion to give it some whacks.
Golf came in for a share of discussion,
There’s nothing in golf to cause any fussin’,
If business was good or if it was bad,
They tackled the matter and never got mad.
When they discussed our time parking limit,
All were agreed on keeping within it.
But when they brought up our boulevard stop,
Not one but said it was all tommy-rot.
Around this table without any jars
They freely debated on all motor cars.
They praised or condemned without any heat,
Each claiming his car did all others beat.
Things they discussed to no one was vital,
Subjects were chosen for safety of title
Till they took up a question a million years old
Of vital concern to every one’s soul.
Of God each took a different stand,
Divided on Nature, Spirit and Man,
While one did declare God didn’t exist,
The good-natured bunch has since been missed.
On most every subject when men don’t agree,
They smile, shake hands and part cheerfully.
There’s danger in topics of soul and heart,
Talk Six Studebaker and friends you will part.
The Car with Character
flash.
