Your Gait

Don’t go such a fearful rate,

Take a slow and stiddy gait;

Don’t you think you’d better heed

Common sense an’ check your speed?

Rome warn’t fashioned in a day;

Hurry jobs won’t never stay.

Take a gait that’s safe an’ sane,

Then keep pushin’ on the rein.

Better make it slow an’ sure

Ef you want it to endure;

Lots uv things kin hap indeed,

When you try to overspeed.

You might git there quicker, and

Then ag’in, you mightn’t land.

There’s a gait that’s safe an’ sane;

Take it, then push on the rein.
