The Nantucket Central Railroad.

Ode to 'The Bug'.

Oh, that funny little bug,

Hear his coughing chug-a-chug!

See him swing his little tail

As he canters o’er the rail

From Nantucket to his bughouse by the sea!

He’s a nightmare, he’s a dream.

And his appetite is keen,

For he feeds on gasoline

And his like is yet unknown to historee.

Every now and then he tries to

Skid along the rotten tires to

Shorten up the journey from Nantucket,

And his single eye gleams red

When he rounds Tom Never’s Head

And he sees his little shed –

He is lucky if he doesn’t kick the bucket –

But he does the best he can

Over seven miles of sand,

Though they tell me that he sometimes leaves his tail!

Every day this fiery dragon

With his tipsy little wagon

Like a sailor with a jag on

Comes careering o’er the crooked iron rail.

And though rocky as to gait

And occasionally late,

He is sure to keep his date,

And he never yet forgot to bring the mail!
