A Job For Mcguinness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGD| Oh it's dreadful to think in a country like this | A |
| With its chances for work and enjoyment | B |
| That a man like McGuinness was certain to miss | A |
| Whenever he tried for employment | B |
| - | |
| He wrote to employers from Bondi to Bourke | C |
| From Woolloomooloo to Glen Innes | D |
| But he found though his wife could get plenty of work | C |
| There was never a job for McGuinness | D |

| But perhaps later on when the Chow and the Jap | E |
| Begin to drift down from the tropics | F |
| When a big yellow stain spreading over the map | E |
| Provides some disquieting topics | F |
| - | |
| Oh it's then when they're wanting a man that will stand | G |
| In the trench where his own kith and kin is | H |
| With a frown on his face and a gun in his hand | G |
| Then there might be a job for McGuinness | D |
