Rhyme Scheme: A BCBC DEDE FAFA GEGE HIJI KEKE LMLMWEARY WILL by A B quot Banjo quot Paterson | A |
- | |
The strongest creature for his size | B |
But least equipped for combat | C |
That dwells beneath Australian skies | B |
Is Weary Will the Wombat | C |
- | |
He digs his homestead underground | D |
He's neither shrewd nor clever | E |
For kangaroos can leap and bound | D |
But wombats dig forever | E |
- | |
The boundary rider's netting fence | F |
Excites his irritation | A |
It is to his untutored sense | F |
His pet abomination | A |
- | |
And when to pass it he desires | G |
Upon his task he'll centre | E |
And dig a hole beneath the wires | G |
Through which the dingoes enter | E |
- | |
And when to block the hole they strain | H |
With logs and stones and rubble | I |
Bill Wombat digs it out again | J |
Without the slightest trouble | I |
- | |
The boundary rider bows to fate | K |
Admits he's made a blunder | E |
And rigs a little swinging gate | K |
To let Bill Wombat under | E |
- | |
So most contentedly he goes | L |
Between his haunt and burrow | M |
He does the only thing he knows | L |
And does it very thorough | M |
