THE sLACKERs.
They stood at Tenth and Market IN III
the squall
A big bunch Of slackcrs. one and all
old, young, tan, fat, thin and small,
Thcy did forget 90 eat their lunch.
They were a sad, old looking bunch
Their motive was 20 watch The fun,
no sec The ladies try 20 shun
Tie wind as 10 set them on the nn.
A good sized regiment they truly made,
But they do not lghi. they were afraid.
Uncle sam needs them, but they won't
go.
They prefer TO stick around and see the
wind blow
AZ 90 gallantry, 70 was In their feet
Like The Kaiser they are a bunch Of
beets.
We should send them over. IL only ie
save The eats:
TO leave them here Nils them with con-

II they stay over here we cant Hoover

And tho wind might blow dust in their
beautiful eyes.
