Bald head men and other sojourners Who spend their time at drug-store corners To watch the shebas tripping by Looking "come hither" out your eye I got great comfort for you too It isn't hard for you to do. keep your seats! Don't crowd and push Don't kill mo blind men in the rush Just take a lesson from Coué And do your dozen every day.

Skirt by skirt on every flirt They're getting higher and higher, Inch by inch they cling and pinch There's more to admire Sock by sock and knee by knee The more they show the more we see Hour by hour and day by day Let's hope that things keep on this way. Oh, Coue', Coue', Coue' Let's pray this every day.

ZORA NEALE HURSTON.
