When one of America’s top early car
makers swept the board
Behold! he produced the Model T Ford.
Different colours it did lack, but looking
fondly back
On the world’s first production line, they
are, every one, painted black.
They sped along at regular speed
Frightening cattle, humans, horse and
steed.
We have moved on since them, but
should all applaud
The sheer genius of Henry Ford.
