His Troubles.
Wobbling along ho wearily went, And bo zig-zagged here and there; He ached like mad, his back was bent, His face was marked with care. Though his old crook rattled at every nufc He'd shove her along or bust; Till at last he rose from a villainous rut All covered with grief and dust. His pedal was off; ho tried to mop The sweat with a damp bandana ; Ifc was 20 miles to a blacksmith's shop, And a friend had borrowed his spanner. —" Quiz," in the Australian Cycling News.
