Doggerel on Sydney's Belmore Markets

Hat sir? The very thing for you
Lettuce a penny each or two
For threepence sausages now where
The devil are you pushing to
And from the shooting gallery the noise is perforated BANG
Here desperate gangsters toy with fate
The prowling bloke secures a mate
The newsboy squanders all his wealth
On peas and penny for a plate

NOTE: Belmore Markets were in Campbell Street
