I broke the handle bars, I broke the sprockets, I broke the ten commandments, I broke my New Year's pledge and the law agin loud and abusive language, and Jim Lawson got so excited he run his wooden leg through a knot hole in the porch and couldn't git it out agin. I BROKE THE HANDLEBARS I BROKE THE SPRUCKITS I BROKE THE KIN COMMANDMENTS I BROKE MY NEW YEAR'S PLEDGE AND THE LAW AGAIN LOUD IN ABUSIVE LANGUAGE AND JIM LAWSON GOT SO EXCITED HE RUN HIS WOODEN LEG THROUGH A KNOT HOLE IN THE PORCH AND COULDN'T GET IT OUT AGAIN
ot on that durned masheen and it jumped up in the front and kicked up behind, and bucked up in the middle, and shied and balked and jumped sideways, and carried on worse 'n a couple of steers the fust time they're yoked. Wall, I managed to hang on fer a spell, and then I went up in the air and cum down all over that bisickle. I fell on top of it and under it and on both sides of it; I fell in front of the front wheel and behind the hind wheel at the same time. Durned if I know how I done it but I did. I run my foot through the spokes, and put about a hundred and fifty punctures in a hedge fence, and skeered a hoss and buggy clar off the highway. I done more different kinds of tumblin' than any cirkus performer I ever seen in my life, and I made more revolutions in a fifteen-foot circle than any buzz-saw that ever wuz invented. Wall, I lost the lamp, I lost the clamp, I lost my patience, I lost my temper, I lost my self-respect, my last suspender button and my standin' in the community. THEN THE TROUBLE COMMENCED I GOT ON THAT DURNED MACHINE AND IT JUMPED UP IN FRONT AND KICKED UP BEHIND AND BUCKED UP IN THE MIDDLE AND SHIED AND BALKED AND JUMPED SIDEWAYS AND CARRIED ON WORSING A COUPLE OF STEERS THE FUST TIME THEY WAS YOKED WELL I MANAGED TO HANG ON FOR A SPELL AND THEN I WENT UP IN THE AIR AND COME DOWN ALL OVER THAT BICYCLE I FELL ON TOP OF IT AND UNDER IT AND ON BOTH SIDES OF IT I FELL IN FRONT OF THE FRONT WHEEL AND BEHIND THE HIND WHEEL AT THE SAME TIME DURNED IF I KNOW HOW I DONE IT BUT I DID I RUN MY FOOT THROUGH THE SPOKES AND PUT A HUNDRED AND FIFTY PUNCTURES IN A HEDGED FENCE AND SKEERED A HORSE AND BUGGY CLEAR OFF THE HIGHWAY I DONE MORE DIFFERENT KINDS OF TUMBLING THAN ANY CIRCUS PERFORMER I EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE AND I MADE MORE REVOLUTIONS IN A FIFTEEN FOOT CIRCLE THAN ANY BUZZ SAW THAT WAS EVER INVENTED WELL I LOST THE LAMP I LOST THE CLAMP I LOST MY PATIENCE I LOST MY TEMPER I LOST MY SELF RESPECT MY LAST SUSPENDER BUTTON AND MY STANDIN IN THE COMMUNITY
