Ransom E. Olds (1864-June 3, 1950) Businessman Founded Nucor & Oldsmobile
"In My Merry Oldsmobile"{from 1905}
with music by Gus Edwards and lyrics by Vincent P. Bryan.
Verse 1
Young Johnny Steele has an Oldsmobile
He loves his dear little girl
She is the queen of his gas machine
She has his heart in a whirl
Now when they go for a spin, you know,
She tries to learn the auto, so
He lets her steer, while he gets her ear
And whispers soft and low...
Verse 2
They love to "spark" in the dark old park
As they go flying along
She says she knows why the motor goes
The "sparker" is awfully strong
Each day they "spoon" to the engine's tune
Their honeymoon will happen soon
He'll win Lucille with his Oldsmobile
And then he'll fondly croon...
Chorus
Come away with me, Lucille
In my merry Oldsmobile
Down the road of life we'll fly
Automobubbling, you and I
To the church we'll swiftly steal
Then our wedding bells will peal
You can go as far as you like with me
In my merry Oldsmobile.
as sung by Billy Murray(1932)

Bonus Poem:
THERE

put your finger on the page

don’t lose your place

or reread for nothing tie a knot

put your finger in to keep humanity quiet

just to taste

at the brow and better penetrate secrets

next time put your finger there for me

in the place of the future if possible
