    (continued from previous page)
    The paper man flew off so fast
    His tyres scarce touched the ground.
    The miles flashed past he never paused
    Until his goal was won
    and he had his copy printed
    At the rising of the Sun.
    "Say won't you tell me driver
    Why you urge your pony so?"
    "I'm going to the creamery,
    And it won't do to be slow.
    the committee gave orders
    And I tell you they are no fun,
    Suppliers must be on the road
    At the rising of the sun.
