'mac' Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEF GGHHFFB EEIIJJKK LLAAM B| In every little country place all up and down the land | A |
| From ageing cradles of the race to Never Never Land | A |
| From the towns about the cities to the little towns out back | B |
| There dwells a man of all trades and he's mostly known as 'Mac ' | C |
| He's dwelt there since the Lord knows when and never seems to die | D |
| And everybody now and then when his present job is thro' | E |
| And twenty other little jobs that he has still to do | F |
| - | |
| A plumbing job a painting job a bit of fence to mend | G |
| They want him in a hurry and he's everybody's friend | G |
| Kettle mending carpentry a bit of scrub to cut | H |
| There's nothing comes amiss to him a door that will not shut | H |
| A safe that will not open or a roof that hangs askew | F |
| A plough to mend a pump to tend there's nothing he can't do | F |
| He has never learned a single trade yet somehow has the knack | B |
| And no matter what the trouble is it's safe to send for 'Mac ' | - |
| - | |
| He never makes much money yet he never seems to care | E |
| Tho' a dozen jobs await him he has heaps of time to spare | E |
| A friendly yarn a cup of tea a piece of sage advice | I |
| He's willing for them every day and never counts the price | I |
| Of half an hour or half a day spent in a neighbor's need | J |
| He sells his toil but not his time For what is time indeed | J |
| Save for a man to labor in just as he feels inclined | K |
| So if Smith's job amuses him Brown's job can lag behind | K |
| - | |
| In every little country place he's known or once was known | L |
| Ere the urge that men call Progress claimed the broad earth for its own | L |
| When man found pride in labor and the cunning of his hand | A |
| Nor set a price in money on the arts he could command | A |
| And many a little country place with pride today can show | M |
| Some sturdy structure 'built by 'Mac' nigh fifty year ago ' | - |
| Oh they jerry built their palaces but many a stout bush shack | B |
| Shall stand to honor workmanship of that proud workman 'Mac ' | - |
