Daley's Dorg 'wattle' Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDC EFEF G GF| You can talk about yer sheep dorgs said the man from Allan's Creek | A |
| But I know a dorg that simply knocked 'em bandy | B |
| Do whatever you would show him and you'd hardly need to speak | A |
| Owned by Daley drover cove in Jackandandy | B |
| - | |
| We was talkin' in the parlour me and Daley quiet like | C |
| When a blow fly starts a buzzin' round the ceilin' | D |
| Up gets Daley and he says to me 'You wait a minute Mike | C |
| And I'll show you what a dorg he is at heelin' ' | - |
| - | |
| And an empty pickle bottle was a standin' on the shelf | E |
| Daley takes it down and puts it on the table | F |
| And he bets me drinks that blinded dorg would do it by himself | E |
| And I didn't think as how as he was able | F |
| - | |
| Well he shows the dorg the bottle and he points up to the fly | G |
| And he shuts the door and says to him 'Now Wattle ' | - |
| And in less than fifteen seconds spare me days it ain't a lie | G |
| That there dorg had got that insect in the bottle | F |
