His Guardian Auto (1915)

Everybody agrees that Billy Budd should settle down But no one has the nerve to tell him so Billy Budd says everybody is fast He travels in fast company and be drives a fast automobile It really is a pity But who will undertake to reform him It does not occur to anybody that Billys auto has constituted itself his guardian spirit Yet the car apart from Billys influence really is a remarkably good sort One evening its owner leads it into evil ways Stopping at a roadside inn to get some wine for himself and some gasoline for the auto he finds the supply of gasoline has run out Billy has had a lively day So he reasons that if champagne be good for him it will do also for the auto
