﻿T-BONE SLIM DISCUSSES UNEMPLOYMENT 
 
Forward, step forward, O, Time in your flight. 
Make it “next summer,” oh— just for tonight; 
Drive all the snow from the Yellowstone Trail —  
Can you not see it’s delaying the “mail”? 
I’ve had enough of the Mercury low, 
‘Nough; yes, enough, of the beautiful snow, 
‘Nough, more than ‘nough of the baby-blue frost 
Make it “next August, and don’t mind cost. 
 
Forward, step forward, oh season of sweat; 
Hotter the better—and when you get set 
Make it as hot as an old Kansas June, 
All the year round have it twelve o’clock, noon. 
Roll on, oh Calendar; warm up my heels 
Warm up my hide till the “epiderm” peels 
Out of the way! Let the chilly winds pass. 
Step on the gas, Summer, step on the gas!!
