THE
REASON.
When you find the street full of a "rubbering" throng Each carting a spick and span Kodak alongs When the women you meet wear habilments strange- And you hear jazzy words as you get within range: When the ricksha boys find other custom than yours And you barely can find standing room in the stores; When the Lounge and the Bar resemble the feast Of the biblical days-five thousand at least: When every human is fitted with those. Tortoise-shall rims on the bridge of his nose; When prices have gone right up to the sky. And there's reason to fear that the town will run dry; When the whole of the road to Repulse Bay and back Resembles a part of a motor race track;
When the sidewalk resounds with Arkansas and Wis-*
You have a safe bet on the reason; It's this:
