Dirty Jim Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDCEFC EEGHHG IIJCCK

THERE was one little JimA
'Tis reported of himA
And must be to his lasting disgraceB
That he never was seenC
With hands at all cleanC
Nor yet ever clean was his faceB
-
His friends were much hurtD
To see so much dirtD
And often they made him quite cleanC
But all was in vainE
He got dirty againF
And not at all fit to be seenC
-
It gave him no painE
To hear them complainE
Nor his own dirty clothes to surveyG
His indolent mindH
No pleasure could findH
In tidy and wholesome arrayG
-
The idle and badI
Like this little ladI
May love dirty ways to be sureJ
But good boys are seenC
To be decent and cleanC
Although they are ever so poorK
