“The Rubbernecks”

The Baltimore Sun, Baltimore, Maryland, July 14, 1908
They rubbered and laughed And laughed and rubbered, And then they rubbered And laughed some more. They laughed and rubbered And rubbered and laughed, And rubbered until Their necks were sore. They rested a while And then came back To laugh and rubber And crane and roar. They rubbered and laughed Because they saw Something that they Hadn't saw before.
