The songs and poems inspired by guests' experiences in China are a joyful and humorous aspect of Imperial Tours' heritage. We share these with you below. An Ode To Guy our wonderful guide Who takes everything in his stride He's eager to please With Camembert cheese And chocolate along for the ride! Conversation's not boring with Guy He's witty; his humor is dry. If you make an assumption It's tremendous presumption To think that he'll let it slip by! Our time in China went fast A magical spell was cast Guy took such great care Lots of beauty to share So our memories forever will last. by SN, Rochester, MN A Song Let's climb the Great Wall - Louie Oh, what a wonderful view We can see all the terracotta soldiers Wth all their horses, heads and shoulders And it isn't screwy, Louie, but we owe so much to you.
