Sundown on Jim the Wooller

Jim the Wooller leaned a leather arm upon the bar.

'˜One more for the road?' said Musty Fuller.

'˜I'll take one, if one there be,

For there's no-one alive but me,

And I'm the last of all men, Jim the Wooller.'

Jim the Wooller drained his road one to the dregs.

'˜I thank you for that drink, my Musty Fuller,

It likes me fine, this Auckland Rum,

I drank some watching Things to Come,

And realized that I'm the last of all men,

Jim the '˜Wooller.'

Jim the Wooller spat with haste into the cuspidor.

'˜I must be going now, my Musty Fuller,

For I've no time to sleep,

Shearing thirty million sheep,

And it's no fun at all to be

The last man,

Jim the Wooller.'
