A Bubble Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGH IJIJ KLK MNMN OPOP CQA RCRA| Mrs Mehitable Marcia Moore | A |
| Was a dame of superior mind | B |
| With a gown which modestly fitting before | C |
| Was greatly puffed up behind | B |
| - | |
| The bustle she wore was ingeniously planned | D |
| With an inspiration bright | E |
| It magnified seven diameters and | F |
| Was remarkably nice and light | E |
| - | |
| It was made of rubber and edged with lace | G |
| And riveted all with brass | H |
| And the whole immense interior space | G |
| Inflated with hydrogen gas | H |
| - | |
| The ladies all said when she hove in view | I |
| Like the round and rising moon | J |
| 'She's a stuck up thing ' which was partly true | I |
| And men called her the Captive Balloon | J |
| - | |
| To Manhattan Beach for a bath one day | K |
| She went and she said 'O dear | L |
| If I leave off this what will people say | K |
| I shall look so uncommonly queer ' | - |
| - | |
| So a costume she had accordingly made | M |
| To take it all nicely in | N |
| And when she appeared in that suit arrayed | M |
| She was greeted with many a grin | N |
| - | |
| Proudly and happily looking around | O |
| She waded out into the wet | P |
| But the water was very very profound | O |
| And her feet and her forehead met | P |
| - | |
| As her bubble drifted away from the shore | C |
| On the glassy billows borne | Q |
| All cried 'Why where is Mehitable Moore | A |
| I saw her go in I'll be sworn ' | - |
| - | |
| Then the bulb it swelled as the sun grew hot | R |
| Till it burst with a sullen roar | C |
| And the sea like oil closed over the spot | R |
| Farewell O Mehitable Moore | A |
