Success to Mr J. Graham Henderson, who is a good man, <br />And to gainsay it there's few people can, <br />I say so from my own experience, <br />And experience is a great defence. <br /> <br />He is a good man, I venture to say, <br />Which I declare to the world without dismay, <br />Because he's given me a suit of Tweeds, magnificent to see, <br />So good that it cannot be surpassed in Dundee. <br /> <br />The suit is the best of Tweed cloth in every way, <br />And will last me for many a long day; <br />It's really good, and in no way bad, <br />And will help to make my heart feel glad. <br /> <br />He's going to send some goods to the World's Fair, <br />And I hope of patronage he will get the biggest share; <br />Because his Tweed cloth is the best I ever did see, <br />In the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and ninety-three. <br /> <br />At the International Exhibition, and the Isle of Man Exhibition, <br />He got a gold medal from each, in recognition <br />Of his Scotch Tweeds, so good and grand, <br />Which cannot be surpassed in fair Scotland. <br /> <br />Therefore, good people, his goods are really grand, <br />And manufactured at Weensforth Mill, Hawick, Scotland; <br />Where there's always plenty of Tweeds on hand, <br />For the ready cash at the people's command. <br /> <br />Mr Tocher measured me for the suit, <br />And it is very elegant, which no one will dispute, <br />And I hope Mr Henry in Reform Street <br />Will gain customers by it, the suit is so complete.<br /><br />William Topaz McGonagall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lines-in-praise-of-mr-j-graham-henderson-hawick/
