I wouldn't have no deers nor sleds—
Them's happened long enough:
I'd build an air-ship big an' deep
To carry lots of stuff;
An' Jack could run one—so he says—
An' he's the one ter know—

An' then at nine p. m. I'd up
An' yell out “Let her go!”
An' we could take ten times as much
As if we had a sled,
An' use a wireless telegraph,
An' order goods ahead.
