SHIRT TALE . . . PREFACE: We’ll tell a Doleful Tragedy in Verse In three acts. It isn’t Fiction that we now rehearse, It’s FACTS! It’s QUITE as bad as Edgar Allen Poe, or WUSS (Pardon!) And must be taken Dignified and Slo-o-ow, Like thus: — ACT I. There was a HORSE. WHAT a horse! Within a darkened stall he stood As greedily he munched his food. A racy, pacy kind of horse, The type to win on any course. And ere the setting of a sun s That horsey had a race to run. (Chorus from wings: HOORAY! ATTABABY!) ACT 11. There was a MAN — A cold-eyed, gambling sort of bloke. Who had the dope about that moke. “You bet your shirt,” the owner said, “He'll win it standing on his head.” He bet his shirt—he bet his sox— He took the children's money box. He was so sure that horse would win, He bet and bet like anythin (Oops! Sorry!) (Chorus again: AH-H-H! WHAT A MAN!) ACT 111. It was a MOAN! A Beastly, Gurgly sort of GROAN— A Horrid, Deathly kind of note That struggled from the Gambler’s throat. That horse had ambled down the straight And passed the post —just seconds late. Not last, but (how the Punter CURSED!) He obviously wasn’t first. MORAL: Fate often deals us out such knocks, It’s then that betting hurts — SO—DON’T BET BULLICK-BLACKMORE SOX NOR BULLICK-BLACKMORE SHIRTS! We have a really outstanding selection of both Coat and Neglige Shirts. Don't take any chances with them —come on in and see them for yourself—SOON!
