Care Free Bloke's Cigar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCB DEDEFFF GHGHIIIIH| There's a little spark and a wisp of smoke | A |
| By the road where the tall gums are | B |
| And a mile away a care free bloke | A |
| Speeds onward in his car | B |
| No thought of evil mars his day | C |
| And he's well a hundred miles away | C |
| And safe at home as skies grow grey | C |
| With another fine cigar | B |
| - | |
| There's a spurt of flame in the breathless night | D |
| And a crackling in the scrub | E |
| There's a withered mint bush burning bright | D |
| And a kindling dog wood shrub | E |
| For yards about the bush glows red | F |
| But the care free bloke his paper read | F |
| Says 'Bonzer day And now for bed | F |
| After a bite of grub ' | - |
| - | |
| There's a sickening roar as the fire sweeps down | G |
| From the mountainside aflame | H |
| On the helpless little forest town | G |
| And one knew how it came | H |
| Ten miles of blackened hills gape wide | I |
| And a stricken home on the mountain side | I |
| But the care free bloke toils on in pride | I |
| He saw no spark by the bush roadside | I |
| So how is he to blame | H |
