Yes, Wasn't lt !

The watchman saw the street car pause, Although it had the right of way; He gave the signal, whereupon, It gathered speed without delay. And then a handsome touring car From out the side street seemed to dart. The watchman uttered cryptic speech, And clutched his madly beating heart.

Of course there was a frightful crashFor blocks around folks felt the jar, The intersection soon was swarmed By gaping mobs from near and far. An ambulance came dashing up, Bells clanged, horns honked, policemen swore, The fire department took a hand Before the wild melee was o'er.

No one was killed-a miracle, But that proud Chev had had its day; Never again would driving fool Its classic lines and speed display. The street car was a nervous wreck, With shattered steps and splintered side, It stood in abject misery Bereft of its inherent pride.

Investigations? O, of course; And in the somber court one day, They called the watchman to the stand And asked him what he had to say. "What did you do ?" they said at length, "When first you saw that speeding car?" The watchman shook his towsled head, And fumbled idly with his star.

"I didn't do a gol durned thing; I think I well nigh lost my wit. I stood stock still and yelled right out, 'That IS a fine car-WASN'T it!"'
