I SHOULD WORRY
The Ford is my auto; I shall
not want- It maketh me to lie
in the muddy roads; it leadeth
me into much trouble. It draw-
eth on my purse; I go into the
paths of debt for its sake. Yea
tho I understand my Ford per-
fectly, I fear much evil, for the
radius rods of tha axel might
break, It has a blow out in the
presence of mine enemies, it an-
nointeth my clothes with greese;
the radiator boileth over. 8 're-
ly th s thing will not follow me
all the days of my life, or I will
d*ell in the house of poverty
forever. -Ex.
