(To all the Twentieth Century slaves.)

 

Bravo Bravo!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Ave Victor Shoelerl
Ave Abraham Lincoln!
No more slavery!
No more slave owners!
No more slaves!
The anniversary Was going on
150 years after the last slave
Was officially set free.
I cou1dn’t attend the party,
But I could hear my boss’s Voice among all
From the basement
Where I was Working.
Yes, I had to Work that night
To complete my 96 hours for the Week.
At $4/hour, I hardly had the choice.
The landlady Will not understand.

The Telephone Company Will not understand.

The bills should be paid no matter What.

Y Knowing my boss very Well,
I’m sure he’ll keep a piece of cake for me,
To show me how much he cares.
I’11 just have to say:
“Thank you, boss. You’re the best.”
