A tingle and a sparkle that are
bound to make you vigorous,
Although of course the desert sun
is frequently quite rigorous.
But oh the tales that we were told
of motor-tourists lost in it;
And how they wandered days and
days by cruel sand-storms tossed
in it!
The roads, they said. were terrible.
untraceable, unseekable,
You'd have to hire a flock of
guides through terrors quite un-
speakable.
But none the less we took a chance,
we found trail well trampcd
r. in it,
we pitched our tent and campcd
IN 1t.
No centipedes disturbed our sleep
a no rattlesnakes molested us,
Beneath a clear and starry sky we
cooked our meal and rested US
The desert road was nOt so worse
! I've travelled lots of tougher ones,
1t had some soft and sandy spots
and other chucky, rougher ones
I But not one single mile Of it would
worry or would scare a son
! Of Mississip' or Alabam'. Boy
there is no comparison!
If ever you should tour the west
don't let the desert brighten you
The noviccs cross it every day, anG
/ if you've pep and fight in you.
You'll navigate it's shifting sands
| and rocky roads, no doubt of it
And tell the world it's not so bad
