OUR WASHINGTON TRIP Steps ((With apologies to Rudyard Kipling) Steps, steps, going up and down again; There’s no end to the steps ; The chaperones are here again ; Steps, steps, going up and down again. Up, up, going up and down again ; Hotel, museums, Capitol, and White House. Steps, steps, going up and down again; There’s no end to the steps. We slip, we slide, up again and down again ; The steps are still before us. Oh ! Oh ! The steps are still before us ; Steps, steps, will we never see the end of them ? Sing to the tune of Old McDonald Had a Farm Here check, there check, everywhere check, check. (Repeat until tired.) The system is Great. Nevertheless the trip was one to be cherished and remembered by us all. “OCR'S was a Hue trip, OCR’S was.” Some things overheard: “When do we eat?” “Where do we go next?” “Our’s is a fine house, Our’s is.” “Only five hundred more steps to go.” “What, are you trying to cheer me up?” “Great place to reduce, Washington.” Chaperon—“John, 1 wouldn’t slide down the banister.” Tough John—“Wouldn’t! Ya mean ya couldn’t.” Overheard on the train going to Washington : John—“Oh. it’s a surprise to see you on this train. Joe—“Yeh, I missed the good one.” John—“Don’t you like the service of this railway?” Joe—“I don’t know, I haven’t had any yet. John—“What? These waiters and porters are all crack ones.’ Joe—“Yeh; well. I’d like to take a crack at them all right.” John—“How do you like the table in the dining car ? ’ Joe—“The table’s all right; it’s what they put on it that 1 find fault with. John—“You’re cuckoo; they keep wonderful food on this train. Joe—“Maybe they do, but they certainly don’t sell it. Overheard coming back : Waiter (shouting)—“Dining car in the rear. D. C. in rear. D. C. in rear. Student (tired of hearing guides)—“Shut up; we know the District of Columbia is in the rear,”
