In Oshkosh or Penn Yam,

So I strolled along until came
To straw-thatched bungaloo
Where queer old man sold fish and

Soap, starch, cheese, nuts and glue.
Then in | went and did the wink
At the funny little man,
Just as I'd often done before
From N. Y. out to Kan.

brought,
And said-"Just in-ten cents"
