AGROSS THE GONTINENT ON THE AUTOMOBILE I take my argonautic spree, From Herald square I sally, By Riverside and Tappan Zee, And through the Mohawk Valley; With here and there a little stop To tinker up a puncture, And here and there a little flop At some unlucky juncture. Yet in my epoch-making race, With gusto and devotion, I'm out to make the record pace To the Pacific Ocean. I aiscount accidents before The wily Fates present them, And laugh at hills with rise no more Than 25 per centum; And, caracoling noiseless, fleet Around the awful glacier; I make back numbers obsolete, The sample brands of last year. Yet, where the cyclones soar abbve, Through furnace-heated regions, I guide the sure precursor of More automobile legions. H. F.
