THE M'CAMLEY MIXTURE by W.T. Goodge

      Jack M'Camley,
         Lank and long,
      Ox-persuader,
         Billabong.
      Bluff and hearty
      Sort o' party,
Got the "blanky" habit strong!


      Says the parson,
         Bright old bird,
      "Why'd you use that
         Horrid word? -
      (Jack looked grinful) -
      Not say sinful,
But most vulgar and absurd!"


      "It's the blanky
         Church, betwixt
      You and me, that
         Got me fixed!"
      Says M'Camley,
      "In our fam'ly
Things is all so blanky mixed!


      "There's me father -
         Whoa back, Dick! -
      Church o' Blanky
         England, stric'!
      There's me mother
      And one brother,
Roman-Blanky-Catholic!


      "But me sister -
         Way, you Stan!
      Don't them bullocks
         Rile a man?
      Kilts enticed her,
      Went and spliced a
Presby-Blanky-terian!"
