From the “Frontporch-Swing” to the “Downstairs-Fall,”

When the band started jazzing that song of repose

Of “Just Kiss Me, Doc, and Burn All My Clothes,”

They would clinch and grapple in vise-like embrace,

And he’d plant his “map” up the side of her face.

With his right “lunch-hook” her waist he’d entwine,

You’d almost think he was massaging her spine.

And thus clamped together they would trot and trip

And shake all the movements of the “Slovenly-Slip,”

The “Kitchen-Sink” and the “Box-Car-Bump,”
