The sag back horses,
Pulling creaking carts
Loaded to overflowing
With rusting metal parts,
And piles of clothes,
Tattered and torn,
And straw flecked box
With bag of corn,
And rattling in small wood crate,
Fair exchange, first class rate,
Any old lumber for Wedgewood plate!

The van,
Riding smooth on Pneumatic wheel,
Drawn by velvet engine
On shoes of moulded steel,
Smells warm of crispy crust,
Tight packed in papered tray,
Rolls, farmhouse and cottage loaf,
Fresh baked this very day,
Slows here, as steed,
Champing on his bit,
Sups his fill
As riders quiet sit.

The float,
A blue and white Express,
With yawning crates atop, atumble,
Trailing triangle block of wood,
Banging, bouncing, chain a jumble,
Flared nostrils steam,
Divide the clear cool pool,
And driver, reinless, dismounts
To leave his blanket covered stool
And oversee this water trough,
To wet his lips from metal mug,
Whilst at this feet
A noisy, panting, lapping pug.
