Show THE PEST By BERTON B RALE Y. of the many folks who drje. the majority will in To be moderately careful as they go; It is more or lest their code as they spin along the road To give other drivers something of a show; , Now and then, of course, you're stuck bj sonu- driver of a truck Who will hog the road while traveling in first But of all tho pests there are on the front mat of a car. It's the chauffeur of a taxi who's the worst. He will puss you on the right, and It tills him whh delight When he makes you execute a sudden swerve. Aud hi- ryi's with pleasure shine when be crowds you out of Hut, Or he blocks you when you want to turn a curve; And he knows a joy unique when he hears your brake-beads nhriek AS he shoots across lln roadwav lilcT; a flash: He's a most annoying bird ami his rislbles are stirred When j ou jusi escape Involvement In a smash' Oh, he holds the rules in scorn, and he never blows hi- born, And he loves to make your tresses stwid on end. And he Hk-s to bawl you out when you're nervous and In doubt He is every driver's foe and no man's friend! So I m waiting with a thrill till I get such wondrous skill 1 i nn beat him at his own peculiar sport, Then I'll somehow so contrive that he'll have to turn and drive L'p the stairway to the courthouse into court!
