Rhyme Scheme: AABCCC CCDEED FFGDDH CCIIII JJKCCK LLCMMC NNOPPQOh the circus swooped down | A |
On the Narrabri town | A |
For the Narrabri populace moneyed are | B |
And the showman he smiled | C |
At the folk he beguiled | C |
To come all the distance from Gunnedah | C |
- | |
But a juvenile smart | C |
Who objected to part | C |
Went in on the nod and to do it he | D |
Crawled in through a crack | E |
In the tent at the back | E |
For the boy had no slight ingenuity | D |

But I reckon I'd better be quiet or | G |
They'll spiflicate me | D |
And he chuckled for he | D |
Had the loan of the circus proprietor | H |

But the showman astute | C |

And knock every Injun and Arab wry | K |
With your name and your trade | C |
On the posters displayed | C |
The feathered what is it from Narrabri | K |

Next day for his freak | L |
By a Narrabri Beak | L |
He was jawed with a deal of verbosity | C |
For his only appeal | M |
Was professional zeal | M |
He wanted another monstrosity | C |

Said his Worship Begob | N |
You are fined forty bob | N |
And six shillin's costs to the clerk he says | O |
And the Narrabri joy | P |
Half bird and half boy | P |
Has a down on himself and on circuses | Q |
