The beauty of scenery palled on me.
At last came the sound of a distant horn,
And we hailed with rapture the smiling face,
Of our charming host, as the chastened car
Came whirling up to our resting place."

'Twas a bolt that had gotten on upside down."
"Oh, was that all?" "It was quite enough,
When it took two hours to find it out!"
"That machinician must be a muff!"
Then away through the sunlit, summery weather!
While merriment perched on the steering bar;
Four care-free hearts all beating together
To the chug, chug, chug of the motor car!

We filled the car with the laurel blossoms,
And sat ensconced in a nest of bloom,
And stopped to gather them here and there,—
For one more bunch there was always room.
Twas bounteous nature over again,
With variations of yesterday;
But as we came near the Jersey Coast,
We could smell the breath of the salt sea spray.

We almost shouted aloud with joy,
When we whirled in sight of the ocean gray,
And as we flew along by her side,
We laughed at the tumbling breakers' play.
