The 5th Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DDEE FFGH IGJJ KKGG LL| It's turned January the fifth and Shell's birthdays just arrived | A |
| And we're heading off to Glenrowan a place Ned Kelly couldn't survive | B |
| But our first point of call is Australia's largest Gold dredge | C |
| In a town called Eldorado just out on Wangaratta's edge | C |
| - | |
| I'll fill you in quickly and tell you how the story goes | D |
| Back in gold was found where the Reids Creek flows | D |
| Now move on years later and a town strong | E |
| The creek was exhausted so most all prospectors moved along | E |
| - | |
| It's also known to be the home of Victoria's smallest pub | F |
| The McEvoy tavern but I'm guessing it's the towns biggest hub | F |
| So I'll fast forward the drive and we're now in Glenrowan | G |
| A town full of history and hundreds of tourists were flowing | H |
| - | |
| The most famous of all is of course Kelly's last stand | I |
| This whole town is based on the death of one man | G |
| As impressive as it is I still beckon to wonder | J |
| How in the middle of nowhere happened this historical blunder | J |
| - | |
| Ned's legacy lives on in almost a cult figure way | K |
| A thieving Irish thug who in the end had to pay | K |
| Glenrowan seems only now a huge money spin | G |
| If only the coppers back then didn't burn down the inn | G |
| - | |
| Overall I would say it was a top day all round | L |
| Another tick off the list and more adventures to be found | L |
