The Overflow of Clancy
The Overflow of Clancy is a poem written under the pseudonym "H.H.C.C" and first published in The Bulletin magazine on 20 August 1892 as part of the Bulletin Debate, a series of poems about the true nature of life in the Australian bush.
The poem is a parody of Paterson's Clancy of the Overflow.
Colin Roderick, in his biography Banjo Paterson: Poet by Accident, states on page 76 that he believes the poem was written by Henry Lawson.
However, Herbert Humphrey Cripps-Clark was a contemporary poet whose initials were the same as those of the pseudonym.
