"My Old Tin Can"

The Ford is my auto,I shell not walk.
It maketh me to lie down beneath it.
It leaveth me stranded in deep waters.
It vexeth my soul.
It leadeth me in the path of ridicule
for its name sake.

Yea, though I ride through the valleys,
I am towed up the hills.
I fear evel for my spark plug corrodeth.
My rods and my bolts discomfort me.
It preparest a puncture in the presence of trouble.
It anointest my hands with grease.
My radiator boileth over.

Surley curses and punctures shell follow
me all the days of my life and i shell plead
befor my FORD in vain forever.

Great variation on the 23rd Psalm! My mother used to recite poems at concerts, and this was one that she used, although with the minor difference that the word 'car' substituted for 'auto'. This was in the period up to about 1960. Mum was born in England in 1910, and we arrived in Australia in 1950. The recitation was always well received.
