THE eYPsIEs OF THE GASOLINE
AGE

Arrayed in khaki, weather stained.
And full OF grease and oil,
Their faces tanned with sun and wind
Their hands begrimed with toll.
With hook and boot and siren shrek
They come from near and far.
And travel in cloud of smoke,
The gypsies of the ear.
In limousine and touring ear,
And lively runabout,
They laugh at Indigestion. nerves,
Insomnia and govt.
No dream of dark and evil things
At night their slumbers mar.
They keep eternal holiday,
The gypsies of the car.
The wsnderlust Is in their blood,
They answer to the call,
OF open road and azure skies,
Green fields and forests tall.
And leave trail of gasoline
Around this earthly star.
Those happy cousins to the tramp,
The gypsies of the car.
Nina Irving, in New York Sun.
