Shears and SaWbuCk.

Shears & Sawbuck kept store,
Such as never was before.
City folks they wouldn't sell,
Wouldn't let 'em have a smell.
Fetched their money-but by jing!
Couldn't buy blessed thing!
Couldn't meet 'em face to face
An then sell 'em with good grace.
Country trade was what they
sought
Folks who'd pay for what they
bought
sFore they say it, hide or tail,
They sent catalogues by mail
Out to every blessed one
Gettin' mail at Possum Run.
We sat up at night and read
When we'd orter been to bed.
Book was about as big as sin
Had a lot of pictures in,
And lot of merchandise,
Every kind and every size
Givin' prices that they swore
Knocked out every country store.
Looked so straight and seemed SO
/ bit at it-Jim did, too.
Jim's my neighbor cross the way
Best man ever worked in hay,
Just let him top off stack
Sheds rain like a turtle back,
Pleasure jest to see him work,
Never knew oil Jim to shirk;
Swing a scythe like it was play
Love to watch him in the hay.
Well, we like pair of fools
Sent off-got some hayin' tools.
Jim got harness and plow.
/, a range--I see it now;
Drat the thing, it was so light
Used it for torch at night;
Throw'd the darn thing in the
Use it now for renderin' lard
'Fore Jim used the plo~ an hour
Found the blame thing wouldn't
scour;
Tried his harness-broke tug
Sought for solace in his Jug
In the cooler all that night
Jim reflected on his plight;
In the morning, Richard Stout,
Hardware merchant, bailed him
out.
Jim said after that he'd stick
Close as bark to good OF Dick,
Since he left the Possum Jail
Says he won't buy goods by mail;
Says Dicks cheaper, anyhow
Might have saved some on the
plow.
On the other goods some more,
At his ol' friends hsrdware store.
Jim says, "We can't sell no truck
To si ch folks as Shears-Sawbuck.
They'll take all our cash away,
But won't buy our corn or hay,
That seemed purity strange to me,
So i told OF Jim I'd see
So wrote to them that night
Just to see if Jim was right.
Ast'em"What they'd pay for oats?
Gould they use some likely shoats?
How about four tons of hay
Could ship 'em right away,
Gould furnish Mr.. Shears
With his family roastin' earsp
Also would my friend, Sawbuck,
Buy some of my garden truck?"
Answer came one summer day,
Said they "Couldn't use our hay,
Couldn't use our oats or shoats,
Didn't like our billy goats,
When they needed truck to eat
Bought it down on Water street
Sorry, but they must refuse
Anything but cash to use."
I set down and wrote 'em then;
"Hate to trouble you again
But want to thank you, sirs,
For your bunch of cuckle burrs.
If you love your fellow man,
Do him good, sirs. when you can--
While our merchants sweetly sleep
Sheors and Sawbuck shear your
Sheep" Anonymous
