The text contrasts sharp blistering debts with the Canada thistle as a relentless agricultural scourge. It notes interest gnaws at substance, binds industry, and chains a man to a fatal mesh. It also mentions peach crops dying in January predicting August crops and ends with a quip about a man who could not express feelings sending them by mail.
