Dark was that day when Diesel
Conceived his grim engine that
Begot you, vile invention
More vicious, more criminal
Than the camera even
Metallic monstrosity
Bale and bane of our Culture
Chief woe of our Commonweal
How dare the Law prohibit
Hashish and her#in yet
License your use, who inflate
All weak inferior egos?
Their addicts only do harm
To their own lives: you poison
The lungs of the innocent
Your din dithers the peaceful
And on choked roads hundreds must
Daily die by chance-medley
Nimble technicians, surely
You should hang your heads in shame
Your wit works mighty wonders
Has landed men on the Moon
Replaced brains by computers
And can smithy a “smart” bomb
It is a crying scandal
That you cannot take the time
Or be bothered to build us
What sanity knows we need
An odorless and noiseless
Staid little electric brougham
