Trouble On The Selection Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFEGHIHJKLK MNONPQRQ FSTSUVWV| You lazy boy you re here at last | A |
| You must be wooden legged | B |
| Now are you sure the gate is fast | A |
| And all the sliprails pegged | C |
| And all the milkers at the yard | D |
| The calves all in the pen | E |
| We don t want Poley s calf to suck | F |
| His mother dry again | E |
| And did you mend the broken rail | G |
| And make it firm and neat | H |
| I s pose you want that brindle steer | I |
| All night among the wheat | H |
| And if he finds the lucerne patch | J |
| He ll stuff his belly full | K |
| He ll eat till he gets blown on that | L |
| And busts like Ryan s bull | K |
| - | |
| Old Spot is lost You ll drive me mad | M |
| You will upon my soul | N |
| She might be in the boggy swamps | O |
| Or down a digger s hole | N |
| You needn t talk you never looked | P |
| You d find her if you d choose | Q |
| Instead of poking possum logs | R |
| And hunting kangaroos | Q |
| - | |
| How came your boots as wet as muck | F |
| You tried to drown the ants | S |
| Why don t you take your bluchers off | T |
| Good Lord he s tore his pants | S |
| Your father s coming home to night | U |
| You ll catch it hot you ll see | V |
| Now go and wash your filthy face | W |
| And come and get your tea | V |
