MA AND THE AUTO

By Edgar Albert Guest

Before we take an auto ride Pa says to Ma:

“My dear,

Now just remember I do n't need suggestions from the rear.

If you will just sit still back there and hold in check your fright,

I'll take you where you want to go and get you back all right.

Remember that my hearing's good and also I'm not blind,

And I can drive this car without suggestions from behind.”
