“ For making jumbacks fat. And the out-paddocks -- holy frost! There wouldn't be no sense For me to try and tell you half -- They really are immense; A man might ride for days and weeks And never strike a fence. ”

“ By Paddymelon Flat; All men can see the fire, of course, Spreads on at such a bat, But who are setting it alight, I cannot tell you that. But this I think all men will see, And hold it very true -- "Don't quarrel with effects until The cause is brought to view." What is the cause? That cornstalk boy -- He seemed to think he knew.
