Country Pubs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EEFFGGH FFFFAAAA EEIIAAJ| We know those little country pubs | A |
| By cross road and by creek | B |
| Where faithfully the landlord scrubs | A |
| His counter once a week | B |
| And stands before his shining bar | C |
| To cater for man's thirst | D |
| With all the best but where the meals are | C |
| He caters with the worst | D |
| - | |
| 'Wottle you 'ave ' There's beer or brandy | E |
| Rum or half and half or shandy | E |
| Wine or whisky Bottles wink | F |
| 'Wottle you 'ave boys Name your drink' | F |
| But in the grimy dining room | G |
| A slattern lass of grease and gloom | G |
| Intones in accents charged with grief | H |
| 'Wottle you 'ave There's corn beef ' | - |
| - | |
| In the bar the talk grows gay | F |
| The landlord beams for trade agog | F |
| And yokels wile dull hours away | F |
| Idly yarning o'er their grog | F |
| But in that cave of gastric woes | A |
| Grimly the hungry traveller eats | A |
| To end by turning up his nose | A |
| And hoping to fill up on sweets | A |
| - | |
| 'Wottle you 'ave ' The cups are cloudy | E |
| Linen soiled The waitress dowdy | E |
| Comes like an avenging fate | I |
| Snatching at the greasy plate | I |
| Soggy cabbage soapy 'spuds' | A |
| Droning flies and smell of suds | A |
| Now she whines like some lost soul | J |
| 'Wottle you 'ave There's jam roll ' | - |
