THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MOTORING SUPPLE NT. SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1930.

MASSED TOURING.

We are a gregarious, race, We love to congeal in a lump The slowest computeth the pace. And others fall meekly in place, Which gives me a mountainous

hump...

Admit we assemble in flats, Coagulate thickly to feed, Are packed Into tram cars like

sprats,..

Go bald wearing uniform hats, And share each distaste, like and

need.

I'll bear those with never a quail, If sometimes the habit will cease; If only, mile long, head to tail,

Conformed to the pace of the

Anail,

Or chasing the leader like geese,

We don't congregate when we

drive,

In mournful processions and slow, In bunches of fifty and five, Compeling the quick ones to dive For shelter each time they would

go.
