Now, these are some rules for touring; 

   common sense most people would say, 

But they would be wise to observe them,

 when venturing out in their old Model A.

Is the air in the tires sufficient?

  Have the lug nuts been torqued down real tight?

Did you measure the crankcase oil level?

   Did you check that tiny stoplight?.

Is the radiator topped off with water? 

   Do you carry a gallon for spare?

Are your brakes tight and safely adjusted?

   Or do they need some additional care?

Have you had the flivver out lately?

   Does it seem to be running OK?,

A problem caught prior to leaving 

   Can prevent a disastrous day.

Do you carry a cell phone with you?

Power on; charged up and all?

cause it ain’t worth much tucked in your pocket

with no way to give you a call.

When touring in line with the others,

 Are you careful to keep up your speed?

Do you signal upcoming turns clearly,

for the driver behind you to heed?

And while we speak of that fellow behind you

  Do you keep him clearly in sight?

If he disappears from your review mirror,

   Slow down to determine his plight.

We’re all in this tour together

Our goal is to have some fun

Be patient with those who have problems,

   You just might be the next one.

If everything’s not to your liking

   Accept it and button your lip,

If you think you can do the job better,

   by all means plan the next trip.
