    1. [HAMPSHIRE-LIFE] Shoemakers, Bootmakers and Cordwainders

    3. You question on Shoe and Boot makers reminded me of this David as a Corwainer was a shoemaker [not bootmaker] who made shoes out of new Cordovan Spanish Leather while a cobbler cobbled shoes from USED leather! Chris "Joe he was a young cordwangler, Monging greebles did he go; And he loved a bogler's daughter By the name of Chiswick Flo. Vain she was and like a grusset, And her gander-parts were fine; But she sneered at Joe's cordwangle As it hung upon the line. So he stole a woggler's moolie For to make a wedding-ring, But the Bow Street Runners caught him And the judge said 'You will swing!' Oh, they hung him by the postern, Nailed his moolies to the fence - For to warn all young cordwanglers That it was a grave offence. There's a moral to this story, Though your gander-parts be poor - Keep your hands off others' moolies, For it is against the Law. __________________
