Well, compare it to the original and maybe it won't seem so lame--

ZKO 110 Spit Brook Rd. The older I get,
603-884-0501 Nashua, NH USA 03062 the better I was.
Hark! The Herald's axles swing,
Forty-two to sixty, pinging!
Pieces fall from rusting pile,
Please dear Lord, just one more mile!
Joyful, yes! She almost flies,
Join the Triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host exclaim,
Wot's that noise? Christ not again!
Hark! The Herald's axles swing,
Glory of Brit motoring!
Kas, by many still adored:
Never yet a race fan bored;
Late in time behold him come,
Still he is our favored one.
Veil'd in smoke, the motor see;
Thank the Lord he missed that tree!
Pleased, to finish in one piece,
Kas, our hero wreath'd in grease!
Hark! The Herald's axles swing,
Glory of Brit motoring!
Hail! the Prince of Darkness lives!
Hail! the righteous yet forgive!
Light and life temp'rarily bring,
Cost of fuses taking wing.
Wired, he leaks his current by,
Blessed, that it may not die.
Born, our Triumph cars uncouth,
Borne upon our second youth.
Hark! The Herald's axles swing,
Glory of Brit motoring!
