There-s Only The Two Of Us Here Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEE FFGH IIGH JJGH KKGH| I camped one night in an empty hut on the side of a lonely hill | A |
| I didn t go much on empty huts but the night was awful chill | A |
| So I boiled me billy and had me tea and seen that the door was shut | B |
| Then I went to bed in am empty bunk by the side of the old slab shed | C |
| - | |
| It must have been about twelve o clock I was feeling cosy and warm | D |
| When at the foot of me bunk I sees a horrible ghostly form | D |
| It seemed in shape to be half an ape with a head like a chimpanzee | E |
| But wot the hell was it doin there and wot did it want with me | E |
| - | |
| You may say if you please that I had DTs or call me a crimson liar | F |
| But I wish you had seen it as plain as me with it s eyes like coals of fire | F |
| Then it gave a moan and a horrible groan that curdled me blood with fear | G |
| And There s only the two of us here it ses There s only the two of us here | H |
| - | |
| I kept one eye on the old hut door and one on the awful brute | I |
| I only wanted to dress meself and get to the door and scoot | I |
| But I couldn t find where I d left me boots so I hadn t a chance to clear | G |
| And There s only the two of us here it moans There s only the two of us here | H |

| I hadn t a thing to defend meself not even a stick or stone | J |
| And There s only the two of here It ses again with a horrible groan | J |
| I thought I d better make some reply though I reckoned me end was near | G |
| By the Holy Smoke when I find me boots there ll be only one of us here | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| I get me hands on me number tens and out through the door I scoots | K |
| And I lit the whole of the ridges up with the sparks from me blucher boots | K |
| So I ve never slept in a hut since then and I tremble and shake with fear | G |
| When I think of the horrible form wot moaned There s only the two of us here | H |
