STEPPING ON IT by FAIRFAX DOWNEY

First Line: AT A BAD CORNER OF THE STREET
Last Line: HONK! BRAKES! MEET!
Subject(s): AUTOMOBILES; DRIVING & DRIVERS; STREETS; CARS; AVENUES;

At a bad corner of the street,
With its wet concrete,
Where the neat
Shoes of autos as they pass go "Tweet-tweet-tweet----"
Who goes skidding round the corner of the street?
One sporty bus that is Willy's;
One fast roadster which is Milly's...
Honk! Brakes! Meet!
