The Chinaman Transmogrified : A Goatish Talei"The murmuring tide was falling fast, and sultry was the day,", 'Frederick' , single work poetry humour
A somewhat racist poem in which a dead goat found floating in the Brisbane River is mistaken for the corpse of a Chinese immigrant labourer. The poem was undoubtedly inspired by the debate on Chinese labour which ran in the Australian colonies at this time, but it also touched on the feral goat problem which then existed in Brisbane.
