The Lady Cyclist.


Her Uncle presents her with a bicycle	She could dream of nothing else but her new bicycle	She soon came in sight of the champion club racers

Passed them and left them in the rear with ease	She ran clean over a bullock which happened to be in her way	Running over a footbridge she scattered the fishing party in all directions

A timber wagon blocked her way but she cleared the lot	She ascended a mighty steep, a feat never before attempted	And descended fearful inclines with the greatest equanimity

Finding the bridge broken she leapt the fearful chasm	She receives a glorious welcome on her return home	But on her maid awakening her in the morning finds she has been dreaming it all
