Uncle Sam Busy

Old Uncle Sam is firing OF
Cost OF Living" fuss, and now
he is inquiring just why such
things are thus. When govern
ment committees go shopping
round for facts in all our towns
and cities and populated tracts,
we feel there's something doing
we shake off our despair; now
Justice is pursuing the pirates to
their lair. But we'll be dead and
sleeping, our weary frames at rest,
before the land is reaping much
good from Uncle's quest. 1T is a
thousand pities wet blankets to
produce, but government commit
tees! Oh, thunder, what's the
use? Perhaps in nineteen-thirty
g committees will report that spec
ulators dirty should all be hailed
to court for boosting eggs and
taters, excelsior and bread but all
the spectators will then be lying
dead. The little chortling suck
ling will be all bent with years,
and down to labor buckling, when
that report appears. The happy
schoolboy frisKers, enjoying sun
NY lives, will have long, snowy
whiskers when that report arrives.
And prices will be normal, this
crisis all forgot, when. all correct
and formal, that blamed report is
brought. And | who write this
ditty will sleep beneath the yam
before the first committee reports
to Uncle Sam.
