Explore "In Central Park" by Carolyn Wells on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In Central Park, along the Mall, / We see the gay goat-carriage crawl; / With little boys and girls inside, / Enjoying their exciting ride.
Right willingly each nimble steed / Exerts his very utmost speed; / And o'er the smooth hard road they race / At something like a turtle's pace.
But stout old men and portly dames, / Pray, do not urge your rightful claims; / And even though you have the price, / Listen, I beg, to my advice.
Do not insist on getting in / The little carriage for a spin; / You'd not look picturesque at all / Careering up and down the Mall.
