The Chatterbox Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DBEB FEGE HIJI KLAL| From morning till night it was Lucy's delight | A |
| To chatter and talk without stopping | B |
| There was not a day but she rattled away | C |
| Like water for ever a dropping | B |
| - | |
| No matter at all if the subjects were small | D |
| Or not worth the trouble of saying | B |
| 'Twas equal to her she would talking prefer | E |
| To working or reading or playing | B |
| - | |
| You'll think now perhaps that there would have been gaps | F |
| If she had not been wonderfully clever | E |
| That her sense was so great and so witty her pate | G |
| It would be forthcoming for ever | E |
| - | |
| But that's quite absurd for have you not heard | H |
| That much tongue and few brains are connected | I |
| That they are supposed to think least who talk most | J |
| And their wisdom is always suspected | I |
| - | |
| While Lucy was young had she bridled her tongue | K |
| With a little good sense and exertion | L |
| Who knows but she might now have been our delight | A |
| Instead of our jest and aversion | L |
