“Our Street Car”

Description

In abysmal verse, the singer points out, "Let moderns preach, 'We need more street' With themes and schemes -- ah! scorner." The singer would rather praise "Our street car! Ours to honor." The singer describes its virtues and mourns its passing

Notes

Thomas implies that the author sang this piece, but I find it hard to believe this mess could fit a regular tune. - RBW
