Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHCC AIAICCIf you walk in the bush at night | A |
In the wonderful silence deep | B |
By the flickering lantern light | A |
When the birds are all asleep | B |
You may catch a sight of old Skinny go root | C |
Otherwise Benjamin Bandicoot | C |
- | |
With a snout that can delve and dig | D |
With claws that are strong as steel | E |
He roots like a pigmy pig | D |
To get his evening meal | E |
For creeping creatures and worms and roots | F |
Are highly relished by bandicoots | F |
- | |
Under the grass and the fern | G |
He fashions his beaten track | H |
With many a twist and turn | G |
That wanders and doubles back | H |
And dogs that think they are most astute | C |
Are baffled by Benjamin Bandicoot | C |
- | |
In the depth of the darkest night | A |
Without a star in the sky | I |
He'll come to look at a light | A |
And scientists wonder why | I |
If the bush is burning it's time to scoot | C |
Is the notion of Benjamin Bandicoot | C |
