<p>I know a country laced with roads,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> They join the hills and they span the brooks,</span><br />
They weave like a shuttle between broad fields,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> And slide discreetly through hidden nooks.</span><br />
They are canopied like a Persian dome<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> And carpeted with orient dyes.</span><br />
They are myriad-voiced, and musical,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> And scented with happiest memories.</span><br />
O Winding roads that I know so well,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> Every twist and turn, every hollow and hill!</span><br />
They are set in my heart to a pulsing tune<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> Gay as a honey-bee humming in June.</span><br />
‘T is the rhythmic beat of a horse's feet<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> And the pattering paws of a sheep-dog bitch;</span><br />
‘T is the creaking trees, and the singing breeze,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> And the rustle of leaves in the road-side ditch.</span>

<p>On most every subject when men don’t agree,<br />
They smile, shake hands and part cheerfully.<br />
There’s danger in topics of soul and heart,<br />
Talk Six Studebaker and friends you will part.

<div class="poem">
<p>Of God each took a different stand,<br />
Divided on Nature, Spirit and Man,<br />
While one did declare God didn’t exist,<br />
The good-natured bunch has since been missed.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>They talked of the weather careless and free,<br />
A topic on which they did all agree.<br />
When one would mention the income tax,<br />
It was an occasion to give it some whacks.

<div class="poem">
<p>Golf came in for a share of discussion,<br />
There’s nothing in golf to cause any fussin’,<br />
If business was good or if it was bad,<br />
They tackled the matter and never got mad.

<div class="poem">
<p>Things they discussed to no one was vital,<br />
Subjects were chosen for safety of title<br />
Till they took up a question a million years old<br />
Of vital concern to every one’s soul.

<div class="poem">
<p>When they discussed our time parking limit,<br />
All were agreed on keeping within it.<br />
But when they brought up our boulevard stop,<br />
Not one but said it was all tommy-rot.

<div class="poem">
<p>At a certain round-table a good-natured bunch<br />
Of finest of fellows met daily for lunch.<br />
An hour’s interchange of thoughts and ideas,<br />
All would depart each feeling at ease.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>Around this table without any jars<br />
They freely debated on all motor cars.<br />
They praised or condemned without any heat,<br />
Each claiming his car did all others beat.

<div class="poem">
<p>If we again had to declaim<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> And take a teacher’s jars,</span><br />
We'd tell you all about mistakes<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> Of certain motor cars.</span><br />
We’d tell it true in words a few,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> The car of any maker,</span><br />
Is one we sell, the best for you,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> And made by Studebaker.</span>

<div class="poem">
<p>In years of yore it made us sore,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> When teacher called our name,</span><br />
And said next Friday afternoon,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> You’re one that must declaim.</span><br />
Now we were always timid quite,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> To stand before the school,</span><br />
But declamations once a week,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> Was teacher’s golden rule.</span>

<div class="poem">
<p>One book had pictures and a tale<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> That sounded very fine,</span><br />
But we could never memorize<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> No more than just a Iine,</span><br />
We then proceeded right away<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> To join a horses’ band,</span><br />
And study horses in their play,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> And learn them out of hand.</span>
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>We then declaimed to all the school,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> Don’t take us for a fool,</span><br />
We find the horse is good to work,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> And bigger than a mule.</span><br />
He has two eyes so very keen,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> They see when you are coming,</span><br />
In front two feet and two behind,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> That move when he is running.</span>
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>There’s nothing to declaim about,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> We then did fairly shout.</span><br />
Then teacher said with nasty flout,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> Keep still or you go out.</span><br />
But teacher loaned us many books,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> And all she did indorse,</span><br />
And that is how we came to tell<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> The school about the horse.</span>
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>He has two ears with which he hears,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> And tail to scare the flies,</span><br />
Sometimes he balks but never talks,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> By eating he survives.</span><br />
Some are bay and some are gray,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> And some of color muggy,</span><br />
The big and tall look best of all,<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> In a Studebaker buggy.</span>
