The Indian Myna Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC ADADED AFAFGG AHAHII| Gimme the town an' its clamour an' clutter | A |
| I ain't very fond of the bush | B |
| For my cobbers are coves of the gardens and gutter | A |
| A tough metropolitan push | B |
| I ain't never too keen on the countryfield life | C |
| It's the hustle an' bustle for me an' me wife | C |
| - | |
| So I swagger an' strut an' I cuss an' I swagger | A |
| I'm wise to the city's hard way | D |
| A bit of a bloke an' a bit of a bragger | A |
| I've always got plenty to say | D |
| Learned thro' knockin' about since my people came out | E |
| From the land at the back of Bombay | D |
| - | |
| When out in the bush I am never a ranger | A |
| There never ain't nothin' to see | F |
| Besides them bush birds got no time for a stranger | A |
| So town an' the traffic for me | F |
| I sleep in the gardens an' loaf in the street | G |
| An' sling off all day at the fellers I meet | G |
| - | |
| An' I swagger an' scold an' strut an' I swagger | A |
| An' pick up me fun where I can | H |
| Or tell off me wife who's a bit of a nagger | A |
| Or scrap with the sparrers for scran | H |
| A bonzer at bluffin' I give you my word | I |
| For between you an' me I'm a pretty tough bird | I |
