SELLING OEE!!! 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 their fish, before they skin it. Selling off ! Selling off ! ! But our intentions far more kind— Though baits we have in plenty— We prefer asking more liberal minds. To call and please their fancy. Selling off ! Selling off ! ! There is gear that’s fit for the millionaire, For carriage, or 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 giver thank’d with fond bright eyes, We’d gladly give ourselves the handsel. Selling off! Selling off! ! Whips for twirling round ladies’ thumbs. And hunting crops for gents just out; Light fancy ticklers for childxen’s gums, Brave one’s for wives with drunken louts. Selling off ! Selling off ! ! Bound up, round up, you stockmen bold, Ther’s gear of the right sort to suit you ; We’ve thongs that’ll crack in a firm hand’s hold, So loud, that it would scare old Clootie. Round up ! Round up ! ! A spur in the head, and a pair on your heels, And our pigskins well girth’d beneath ’un; The good steed bounds, and brave hearts feel, As if leaving the earth behind them. Don’t fall off. This effusion, by HICKORY ROUGH AND TOUGH, Special 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. October 26th, 1874.
