    Hugh Reynolds cheerful chatty soul
    Was standing at his door
    And as I passed I heard him say
    ''Gad this must be a Boer'?
    At Rutledge's there's ready mades
    Deny it all who can
    I'm glad he's doing a soaring trade
    Real type of an Irishman.

    Then at the Lane lives Bernard Kean
    The popular J.P.
    He'll expound the law without a flaw
    He's also a C.C.
    And now to rest my weary limbs
    I stepped in to a crack
    I had a smoke and passed a joke
    With high souled Paddy Mac.

    B. Youell and Sons with boots and guns
    Their premises are complete
    A better store from shore to shore
    I think you'll fail to meet.
