| NORTH BAY OIL I had trapped one-million muskrat. Beaver, by the score! My fortune came in "easy fur" But I'd often wished for more. I longed to 'wink the wilely wolf Or the fickle fox to foil. My hopes became euphoric when I heard of North Bay Oil. 'Tis a wonderous recipe The Ad' said clear and plain Just spread it on quite liberally And the others you will shame. You need not look further, You'll be a Trappin' Conan-Doyle. Just trust your luck and send your bucks to Good Ol' North Bay Oil If a little's good, I reasoned, A lot then, must be better. So, I squinted in the candle-light Composing a fine letter. Send me a gallon of your concoction I'm tired of "Playin'-by-Hoyle!" I'll snare a card from the Company's sleeve and trap with North Bay Oil. It came in little bottles. I couldn't count 'em all. But walkin' 'cross the kitchen floor I thought I heard one fall. The fumes from the ruptured bottle Quickly began to boil. The vapours drove me to my bed, sedated by, North Bay Oil. I awoke just after midnight, A sick feeling in my bowels. The cool night-air was pierced by A myriad of howls. That night was long(but I'll keep it short) My shoulder was sore from recoil. As I shot five-hundred wolves and said: "Great stuff this North Bay Oil!" I skinned alone for thirty days Till all of the hides were dry. Then shipped the lot to North Bay For prices extra-high. A trapper needs female company, I thought??? Someone to help him with his toil. There arn't that many willin' but I'll try some North Bay Oil. Here, I'm wedded blissfully She's pretty as a lark. Although, her ears are kind of pointy and At me she'll oft-times "bark." She's doggone good at lovin', Tender, true and loyal. Now, 'bout all I do is whistle and "trap" with North Bay Oil. By Glen E. Smith AKA Ed - From: Tales of the Trap-Line This is, of course, a true account of an incident that happened to me some years back while I was trapping the Mydget Mountains here in Eastern Ontario.
