The One-Way Wagon

Ted Natus, founder of Hamernick’s Decorating on Rice Street said: “The wagon was tilted so it was going one way.”   
(As reported in the St Paul Pioneer Press by Fred Melo)

The one-way wagon trods a path
that only leads to tears and wrath;
a juggernaut, or Conestoga,
it will not calm at all like yoga.
Please take heed, ye drivers plucky;
one-way wagons are unlucky.
You can drive the ox a bit,
but in the end the fan will hit,
and those you've thought to leave behind
will make you taste the bitter rind
of eating crow with humble pie --
and learning not to think 'banzai'!
