THE SHOVEL AND THE ASHES
By Nettie A. Bullis
May 15, 1948
So often the snow has been followed by rain,
I feel very certain will happen again.
And then later on as it turns into sleet,
It is all you can do to stay on your feet.
Then go to the ash can and fill up the pail
They'll help you along when your hand's off the rail,
For a few scattered 'round
are as good as the ground.
And take them along when you go in the car,
For sometime you'll find you won't get very far.
Then if you skid as you turn at the gate
You won't need to worry for fear you'll be late.
Or if your wheels spin and you find you can't start,
'Though there's no one to push, you needn't loose heart,
Just scatter them 'round
You'll take off like a hound.
Yes! take them along, this shovel and ashes,
They may help you avoid some of the crashes.
And often you'll find when you're stuck on a hill
That a few scattered 'round will save a tow bill.
