FAREWELL TO MILKMAN
(By Peep O’Day.) News Item: — Mr. Chibnail, a member of the deputation which waited on Hon. James O'Brien to protest against milk zoning in Greymouth, said “My milkman is more than a mere milkman, —he* is a friend.” Mr. O’Brien said that nothwithstandmg the personality of particular milkmen, zoning was essential.
O Milkman come no. more to me, The Zone our ways dissever; No more y.our personality Will cheer me, friend, —not ever. Go. comrade, go by lawn and lea — Serve Blaketown .by the River! No more your joviality Shall lighten My endeavour! This zoning has laid bare our tree Of friendship—how I shiver. No more a joyful shout from thee On frosty mornings—never. While other jokers smile on thee, My lonely hearts aquiver: No more your fun and fancy free, Delights. Farewell for ever.
