John Adams rode his horse at a leisurely pace through the snow near Boston during the American Revolution. His feet were frozen but he kept going…

 

We’ve made a lot of progress since then. We still have horses, but now people ride to work in cars and trucks – and even planes.

I’d like to buy a new vehicle but I wouldn’t get a lot of money for my old one. I wouldn’t be able to get anything fancy. I might be able to afford a scooter…

At least my feet won’t freeze…

 

 

 

Cling! Clang! Cling! Clang! Cling! Clang!

In the iron cage

there are shackles on

every move you make

Cling! Clang! Cling! Clang! Cling!

There’s another way

but it’s not allowed

in this noisy place

Cling! Clang! Cling! Clang!

This will end some day

you must understand

as we take and take

Cling! Clang! Cling!

Heresy, I say?

People have their jobs

and they must get paid

Cling! Clang!

Competition’s placed

’bout a zillion hands

in this engine made

Cling!

There’s the living Way

But it’s much too loud

so his heartbeat’s faint
