Lo carpet bag and bagger occupy the land	A
And prove the touring season actively begun	B
His personnel and purpose can none misunderstand	A
For each upon his frontlet bears his honest brand	A
The fool ish one	B
	-
By caravan and car from country and from town	C
A great grasshopper army fell foraging the land	A
Like bumblebees that know not where to settle down	C
Impossible it is to curb or scare or drown	C
The tourist band	A
	-
With guidebook camera with rod and gun to shoot	D
To lure the deer the hare the bird the speckled trout	E
The pauper or the prince unbidden they salute	D
And everywhere their royal right dare none dispute	D
To roam about	E
	-
From dark immuring walls and dingy ways of trade	F
From high society's luxurious stately homes	G
From lounging places by the park or promenade	F
From rural dwellings canopied in sylvan shade	F
The tourist comes	H
	-
To every mountain peak within the antipodes	H
To sweet sequestered spots no other mortal knows	H
To every island fair engirt by sunny seas	H
To forest centers unexplored by birds or bees	H
The tourist goes	H
	-
For Summer's fingers all the land have richly dressed	I
Resplendent in regalia of scent and bloom	J
And stirred in every heart the spirit of unrest	I
Like that of untamed fledglings in the parent nest	I
For ampler room	J
	-
What is it prompts the roving mania is it love	K
Of wild adventure fanciful unique and odd	L
Is it to be in fashion and to others prove	M
One's social standing that impels the madness of	K
The tramp abroad	N
	-
The question hangs unanswered like an unwise prayer	O
Importunate but powerless response to bring	P
Go ask the voyagers the rovers everywhere	O
They only say it is their rest time outing their	O
Vacationing	P
	-
So is the world's eccentric round of joy complete	Q
When happy tourist traveler no more to roam	R
His fascinating thrilling story shall repeat	Q
To impecunious luckless multitudes who greet	Q
The tourist home	R
