Works in the Gadfly 1907
FOOLISH COCKIES

(Some South Australian farmers who went to Westralia a little time ago have returned disappointed.)

There were some men in our State,
   And they were wondrous rash;
They jumped to West Australia,
   And parted with their cash;
And when they found their cash was gone,
   With all their might and main --
They sadly thought of what they'd left --
   And then jumped back again.

The Gadfly, 20 March 1907, p1088
