Once upon a carriage
That sat upon two wheels,
There sat a man whose portly can
Gave way to horse's yield.
Once upon a carriage
That rode 'round the way,
Stock trotted stock;
In a beguiling masquerade.
Once upon a carriage
That strayed far from home,
Was a gent who sat awed
At the sight of the unknown.
Indeed, once upon a carriage
Many a thing happened whence.
Now, city streets, and wire fence
Hold cars of steel, that grate, and squeal.
Where once upon a carriage was,
Now stands a death mobile.
