As the Eighth of August approaches
It is the problem of the coaches
To keep their charges
Calm and away from unforseen discharges

All the travel shows
Are intensifying the flow
Of images of all things Chinese
As it is now the bees-knees

So there goes Tony
Ian, Magen, and Bobby
To the Great Wall
Where they've all had their call
