The Scorcher And The Howling Swell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB AAA AAA AAA AAA| The Scorcher and the Howling Swell were riding through the land | A |
| They wept like anything to see the hills on every hand | A |
| If these were only leveled down they said it would be grand | A |
| - | |
| If every bloke that rides a bike put in a half a crown | B |
| Do you suppose the Scorcher said that that would cut them down | B |
| I doubt it said the Howling Swell and frowned a doleful frown | B |
| - | |
| Oh ladies come and ride with us the Scorcher did entreat | A |
| A little ride across the park and down the smoothest street | A |
| And you will have a chance to show your very dainty feet | A |
| - | |
| The Scorcher rode up all the hills as if the same were flat | A |
| It's very rude the ladies said to ride as fast as that | A |
| For all of us are out of breath and some of us are fat | A |
| - | |
| Cheer up cheer up my ladies gay the Howling Swell replied | A |
| Behold a tea shop by the way with Globe Brand Tea inside | A |
| And all who drink the Globe Brand Tea up any hill can ride | A |
| - | |
| And every lady in the band revived on Globe Brand Tea | A |
| That Atcherley and Dawson sell in George Street near the Quay | A |
| And Howling Swells and Scorchers both proclaim its purity | A |
