SELLING OFF ! SELLING OFF I ! SELLING OFF ! ! ! SELLING OFF ! Selling off, is all the cry, The question is how to begin it, Some bait the hook with a golden fly, To catch the fish ere they land it. Selling off ! Selling off ! ! But with intentions far more kind, Though baits we have in plenty ; We’d sooner ask more liberal minds. To come and please their fancy. Selling off ! Selling off ! There’s gear that’s fit for the millionaire, For carriage, station, or riding; There’s whips, would be worth their weight in gold, Should they give some mean skunk a hiding. Selling off! Selling off! ! Saddles for ladies, all sorts and sizes, Fitted to grace the fairest damsel; To see a lover thanked with brightest eyes, We’d gladly give ourselves a handsel. Selling off ! Selling off ! ! Whips for twirling round ladies thumbs, Hunting crops for gents just out; Light fancy ticklers for childrens gums, Brave one’s for wives with drunken louts. Selling off! Selling off ! ! Round up, round up, you stockmen bold, We have gear the right sort to suit you ; There’s thongs that’ll crack in a manly hold, Full loud enough to scare old Clootie. Round up ! Bound up ! ! A spur in the head, and a pair on the heejs, And our pigskins well girth’d beneath ’un ; The good steed bounds, and brave hearts feel, As if leaving the earth behind them. But don’t fall off. This effusion, by Hickory, rough and tough especial poetical scribe, to WOOD BROTHERS, Saddlers. Is dedicated to a generous public, trusting in an efficient appreciation, and that a liberal advantage will be taken of the present opportunity.
