May Be Scorching Yet

MAY BE SCORCHING YET
3832

He scorched upon the highway,
He scorched upon the street;
He scorched away from rivals,
He scorched his friends to meet;
He scorched in pleasant weather,
He scorched when it was hot:
He scorched when races asked it,
He scorched when they did not,
At last, his neck he broke it,
When scorching on a bet;
And for all that you or I know,
He may be scorching yet
