Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDAEFGHFI| On landing the first voice one hears is from | A |
| An English police constable a man | B |
| Respectful conscious that at need he can | B |
| Enforce respect Our custom house at home | C |
| Strict too but quiet Not the foul mouthed scum | A |
| Of passport mongers who in Paris still | D |
