My dear Sir	A
When men have nightmares they dream about you	B
I myself have been chased over the tops of pinnacles	C
By flaming eyed Panhards and Durkopps	C
In my sleep	D
Nor is this all	E
For if one brings oneself	F
To read reports of the proceedings of police courts	C
One finds that the average citizen	G
Gets more or less chased by you sir	A
In his waking moments	C
The Police I know sir seldom speak the truth	H
They remember so well the day	I
When a horseless carriage had to be taken through the street	J
At the speed of a funeral march	K
And with a red flag in front of it	L
That the spectacle of an affable motorist	M
Bowling through a Surrey village	N
To the tune of six miles an hour	A
Shocks ther imagination	G
And they believe for the rest of their natural lives	C
That the affable motorist aforesaid	O
Must have been travelling	P
At the rate of anything from to miles per minute	Q
Hence my dear motorist	M
It comes to pass that you are afforded so many opportunities	C
For airing your eloquence and the fatness of your purse	C
Before the police magistrates	C
In my opinion it seems just possible	R
That the real trouble lies in the fact	S
That you my dear sir do actually	T
Go through villages at a very low speed	U
And that really the best thing you can do	B
Would be to make a point of going through them	V
At the highest speed consistent	W
With the safety of your own person	G
For if you did this	C
No policeman of my acquaintance would be able to catch you	B
Hence you would never be fined	X
I have been out of sympathy with motor cars	C
Right up to the other night	Y
The other night I had the felicity to take a small trip on one	G
The motorist would fain have driven me to my house	C
Which is half an hour's cab drive from Charing Cross	C
He offered to do the distance in ten minutes	C
And started stirring up his petroleum	Z
But I said No Let us go to the Marble Arch	K
We went through the Mall to Hyde Park Corner	A
to South Kensington to Paddington	G
Into the Edgware Road and so to the Marble Arch	K
Time at the outside min	A2
I am willing to admit	L
That we went down certain streets quite rapidly	T
What time the policemen at odd corners stared stupidly	T
And fumbled for their note books	C
But as a result of that trip my dear sir	A
I have become an enthusiastic motorist	M
I am convinced that speed and wind and the smell of petroleum mixed	B2
Is the only thing which can be considered worth living for	C2
And if you happen to know anybody	T
Who would be willing to take	D2
A typewriter and a pair of skates not much worn	E2
In exchange for a Durkopp racer	A
Kindly communicate with me	T
