On household fences, gleaming bright,
Shone “Gargling Oil,” in black and white,
Once “Bixby’s Blacking” stood alone,
He straight beside it clapped his own—“SAPOLIO.”
POLISH MILK CANS & PANS
AND ALL KINDS OF TIN WARE
with Sapolio.
“Try not my fence,” the old man said,
“With ‘Mustang Liniment’ ’tis spread,
Another vacant spot thar aint.”
He answered with a dash of paint—“SAPOLIO.”
