NIL DESPERANDUM

(In reply to “The Onepu Blues”)

No, we haven’t the “Blues” out Onepu way, Until our instalment to Walter, we pay The month after next, when his hopes will be high, Although “his hopes” are not rains from the sky!

Yes, our paddocks are bare, and our pockets too, But our assets are many, and our debts, maybe few! You see, we haven’t the “Blues,” were all happy and gay, . In spite of the forecast, “It’s another fine day!”

We’ve young married couples, But we haven’t a store, Although we’ve a school bus, and babies galore! We’ve a school, and a. hall, a racehorse or two, Yes, we may talk profanely, But we never feel “Blue.”

We’ve a minister, who comes to tend to his flock, In a church with a few empty pews, But we’ve still no wire, to fence our stacks off, And we definitely haven’t the Blues. A. R. Enbee.
