* Sheep badly shorn are marked with a cross in red chalk,
and are not paid for
At sundown to the hut we goes;
The young 'uns lark and fun;
The cook and I exchanges blows
If supper isn't done.
And when the tea and mutton's gone,
And each has had enough,
We shoves the plates and pints away,
And has a game o' "bluff." *
I works a little "on the cross,"
