Why He Loves His Wheel



Before Van married was
He scorned to ride a wheel;
Each night with eager steps I saw
Him to his sweetheart steal.

But now each night when supper’s done
I see him scorch away;
And now he loves his byke the best,
So all the neighbors say.

I questioned him; “my wife,” says he,
For talking takes the lead;
I love my wheel the best because
It is a silent steed.”

Feb. 1918?
