ORIGINAL VERSE
ON THE STATION Just now the men are mustering, Out on the hills and dales, They have to carry out their work, Whether it rains or hails. The sheep must all be gathered in And dipped to make them clean,
And then they’re free to roam again, Out in the fields so green. The men shout orders to the dogs, Which bark with all their might. The sheep keep passing through the dip, From early morn till night. —4 marks to Cousin Leonard Lake (13), C/o Cainard Station. HELPING MOTHER I’ve been busy helping mother, There has been so much to do, .Washing, ironing, sweeping, dusting, Silver all to polish, too. Now the cleaning all is finished, Mother says I’ve helped a lot, I feel pleased to hear her tell me, What a helpful girl , she’s got,. —3 marks to Cousin Dorothy Lake M.A.C. (12), C/o Cainard Station.
