Playthings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHGJKJ| Last year the shops were crowded | A |
| With soldier suits and guns | B |
| The presents that at Christmas time | C |
| We give our little sons | B |
| And many a glittering trumpet | D |
| And many a sword and drum | E |
| But as they're made in Germany | F |
| This year they will not come | E |
| - | |
| Perhaps another season | G |
| We shall not give our boys | H |
| Such very warlike playthings | I |
| Such military toys | H |
| Perhaps another season | G |
| We shall not think it sweet | J |
| To watch their game of soldier men | K |
| Who dream not of defeat | J |
