Bottle-o Benny Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFED D GHGHEF D AIA CDCD| Chuff Chuff Chuff With a rumble and a rattle | A |
| Waking every echo on the old bush road | B |
| Waking too the wonder of the wayside cattle | A |
| With the clatter of his engine and his strange mixed load | B |
| With his front wheels a wobble and his back brake squealing | C |
| Skirting here the table drain grazing there a tree | D |
| His hand upon the steering but his mind upon his dealing | C |
| Comes Bottle o Benny in his old Model T | D |
| - | |
| 'Any ole iron sir Fat sir Bottles sir | E |
| Cast off clobber or any ole rags | F |
| Pretty sticky patch that down by the wattles sir | E |
| Any ole machinery or secon' and bags | F |
| Charf bags bran bags Taken 'em orf yer 'an's sir | E |
| Best city prices spot cash That's me | D |
| This 'ere dealin' life's as 'ard as any man's sir ' | - |
| Says Bottle o Benny from his old Model T | D |
| - | |
| He pokes about the rubbish heap he roots around the stable there | G |
| He loiters in the lumber shed and says 'Times is lean | H |
| Give you 'arf a dollar now for that ole table there | G |
| Square an' all an' honest sir I'd 'ardly make a bean | H |
| Yes I've counted up the bottles two dozen's wot I make 'em sir | E |
| Wot Them sauce an' pickle 'uns | F |
| But jist for ole acquaintance like I'll rid yer 'an's an' take 'em sir ' | - |
| And he magically packs them in his old Model T | D |
| - | |
| Chuff Chuff Chuff With a rattle and a rumble | A |
| Off goes Benny by the Burnt Stump Bend | I |
| His echoes scarce have died away ere Mum begins to grumble | A |
| Where's that copper kettle that I put out to mend ' | - |
| And Lil says 'Last year I've always had a feeling | C |
| Last year a clothes line went when Benny went ' says she | D |
| But Benny won't be back again for twelve months dealing | C |
| For unconsidered trifles in his old Model T | D |
