- (continued from previous page)They seldom have a funeral - so,
probably, dont die;
Of weddings too, they seem to be particularly shy;
Increase they must - their numbers never seem to fall.
How do they die? How do they wed?
How do they live at all?
It seems to me their rules and regulations are a mystery;
It's time some learned person started writing up their history.I'm often asked to help the needy Missions far away
In Africa and China, and in darkest Mandalay;
Methinks it would be wiser if we started nearer hand.
There's much room for improvement in our own dear native land.
Our highways and our byways
teem with wild Nomadic bands,
Let us try and garner these in, then
we'll tackle foreign lands.
