OLD TINSIDES Ay, tear her battered fenders off! Long have they rattled loud, And many an eye has glanced to see Her groan beneath a crowd. Beneath her hood the engine knocked, Of lights she had but one. Her tires w ere worn out long ago, Her exhaust was like a gun. Her sides were covered with wise remarks, And collegiate pictures galore ; Her top was torn and ripped to shreds. No boards were on the floor. No more shall we see that old antique Come rattling down the road, — The harpies of the junkpile Have added her to their load. Frank Whittaker, '27.
