Cities Slowing Down

CENSUS figures show that cities, with few exceptions

previous decades The exceptions chiefly cities built up
By the automobile industry and their gains largely in

are showing tendency to slow down. giving the rest Of

AT A national convention
I ALWAYS run around
LIKE THE regular reporters.
AND SEEK Information
FROM FORCE OF habit
But I never write 1t.
AND At the Chicago convention
I STARTED right IN
ASKING EVERYBODY.
WHAT THEY knew.
AND THE elevator man.
DIDN'T EVEN answer.
But THE waitress girl
SHE BEAT me to It
AND WANTED to know.
WHO WAS going to be president
AND BEING a joker.
OF COURSE I said Hiram
AND SHE said she was glad
BECAUSE SHE was for Hiram.
AND MAYBE she was.
But WHILE reading my paper.
I HEARD her voice.
ASK THE very same question.
OF ANOTHER man.
AND HE said Lowden.
AND SHE said she was gqlad.
AND MAYBE she was.
But ANYWAY.
WHEN SHE brought me my check
SHE TOLD me a story
THAT I think IS exclusive.
AND REALLY authentic.
AND IT happened like this
SHE WAS coming from the kitchen
WITH SOMEBODY'S breakfast.
SPREAD OUT on a tray.
AND SHE caught her foot.
AND THE breakfast sid off
AND SHE struck her knee.
ON THE hard stone edge.
OF ONE Of the steps.
AND HER knee was swelled up.
OR SHE said it was.
AND ! suppose it was.
AND SHE couldn't quit work
OR SHE might lose her Job.
AND I was sorry.
AND DOUBLED my tip.
AND WENT on out.
AND MET a delegate.
WHO WAS going to insist
THAT THEE put a dry plank
IN THE convention platform
AND HE wanted to know.
IF I had any idea
WHERE A fellow could 90.
TO GET a drink
AND ! took him outside.
AND SHOWED him the lake.
WHICH WAS all 7 knew.
AND THEN I resumed
MILLING AROUND and asking
questions
But OF all the news
THAT I obtained
THE WAITRESS knee.
AND THE dry delegate.
SEEM THE most important.
