THE CAMELMAN HAWKER


Shearer man like toast and butter,
Cooper comb and Lister cutter,
Rouseabout he laugh and joke,
Plenty rain and engine broke,
Presser-man like heavy bale
Boardboy's tosses always fail
Squatter like to see-'em cut out
Roll up swag and sweep hut out.
Hawker like to sell the razor,
Shirt and sock and pretty blazer;
Hotel like to see the shearer
Feel 'em pocket coming nearer
Soon he booze and play the game,
And next year he do the same!
                          - "Abdul the Afghan".
