T.Y.S.O.N.
"T.Y.S.O.N." is a poem by Banjo Paterson, first published in The Australasian Pastoralists' Review on 15 December 1898. The subject of the poem was James Tyson, who had died early that month. The poem highlighted his good points and eccentricities.

James Tyson (8 April 1819 – 4 December 1898) was an Australian pastoralist and is regarded as Australia's first self-made millionaire. Unmarried and without children, he died intestate in 1898 and his extensive holdings were sold off and divided among his closest relatives.
