Posi- MILLS AUCTION.
Ang. II, 1921.
There's going to be an Auction
Quite an informal affair."
And lots of personal treasures
Disposed of with a great care.
Ill health That is not the reason
For this Public Sale, I'm told
It's not debt, nor death, nor taxes,
That compels them to be sold.
It's the kindly disposition
OF one fam'ly-named Post Mills
Who are truly gen rous-hearted
Whenever occasion wills.
AS this fam'ly's e'er increasing
1t seems quite the proper thing
To rebuild, repair, remodel
Post Mills Church e'er Time takes wings
So they've planned family Auction
In connection with the Fair"
And they're bringing in old Relics,
Goods and chattels-choice and rare.
There are Implements of Warfare,
One-a Gun, a Scarlet Coat,
And Machines perhaps Internal
And likely to Get ones goat"
There are Chairs, both Camp and Rocking,
There are Iron Vases, rare,
And some Shoes, all black and shining,
Not sold singly, but by the pair.
There'n be Millinery probly,
And some pictures, | should think,
Perhaps some dishes, and a mirror,
And jug from which to drink.
A Thoroughbred Ayrshire Bull Calf,
Some Rabbits, some Hens, and sich,"
Bid fair to make bidding lively,
And the Auctioneer-near rich.
There'n be crowds and crowds of people,
Some in "Fords, and some, on bikes"
An Air-pIdne man, other plain men,
Who ENJOY these country hikes"
You couldn't go TO old Plymouth,
Cos your haydn wasn't done"
You couldn't go TO the Ball-game,
The 'tater-bugs chewed like fun"
When Quinnibeck sold her aprons,
Gave =" The Pirates of Romance" fine,
You staid at home, because, because
Neither sun nor moon did shine.
Now, what's so rare as an Auction
To raise funds for better things
Then why not go Your presence there
To your friends, great pleasure brings.
III YOU bid a little higher
Than old "Mose," bill, Tom" or
Dick"
rhe Auctioneer II knock off the goods
To you, and do it mighty quick"
