Home Sick Out of a london fog there stepped Into a chemist Shop, A lanky man in a shabby suit, With a shapeless hat on top.
" I am an australian," he said, " Homesick and feeling blue. I saw your lights and thought I'd ask A favour, mate, of you!"
" Oh, no my man," the chemist said, " I'm no dog in the manger, Soon I'd have to beg like you If I gave to every stranger.
" I did not come here to cadge for cash," Said the man from the land of the wattle, " All I want is a bit of a sniff At your eucalyptus bottle!"
