FALLING TREES
"Daddy" Watson wants to know where will tho Power Board go when they die, on aecount of destroying so many trees. Where will tho Power Board go, Daddy, Where will the Power Board go ? When the masses meet At the Judgment Seat, Wliere will thc Power Board go? There will be a special place, Daddy, Quite a little special place ; With no cooling breeze, . And no waving trees, — A very hot and stuffy place ! They '11 frizzle in electric heat, Daddy, Very hot electric he-at • With high-voltage shocks, And molten rocks, And heat, and heat, and heat ! That's where the Board may go, Daddy, That's where the Board may go. But there 's worse reserved — And it's well deserved — For an old fool that I know ! How would you like to see, Daddy. How would you like to see Your wind-felled pines Break electric lines And folk Mlled electric 'ly? Which would you rather have, Daddy, Which would you rather have Your trees asway Or a safe highway : Which would you rather have?
— Jingle.
