Fed Up Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCBB DDDDEEBB FFDDBB GGBB| I ain't a timid man at all I'm just as brave as most | A |
| I'll take my chance in open fight and die beside my post | A |
| But riding round the 'ole day long as target for a Krupp | B |
| A drawing fire from Koppies well I'm fair fed up | B |
| It's wonderful how few get hit it's luck that pulls us through | C |
| Their rifle fire's no class at all it misses me and you | C |
| But when they sprinkle shells around like water from a cup | B |
| From that there blooming pom pom gun well I'm fed up | B |
| - | |
| We never get a chance to charge to do a thrust and cut | D |
| I'll have to chuck the Cavalry and join the Mounted Fut | D |
| But after all What's Mounted Fut I saw them t'other day | D |
| They occupied a koppie when the Boers had run away | D |
| The Cavalry went riding on and seen a score of fights | E |
| But there they kept them Mounted Fut three solid days and nights | E |
| Three solid starving days and nights with scarce a bite or sup | B |
| Well after that on Mounted Fut I'm fair fed up | B |
| - | |
| And tramping with the Footies ain't as easy as it looks | F |
| They scarcely ever see a Boer except in picture books | F |
| They do a march of twenty mile that leaves 'em nearly dead | D |
| And then they find the bloomin' Boers is twenty miles ahead | D |
| Each Footy is as full of fight as any bulldog pup | B |
| But walking forty miles to fight well I'm fed up | B |
| - | |
| So after all I think that when I leave the Cavalry | G |
| I'll either join the ambulance or else the A S C | G |
| They've always tucker in the plate and coffee in the cup | B |
| But bully beef and biscuits well I'm fair fed up | B |
