Frank The Jester Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCB DEDEFFFE EGEHIIIH JKJKLLL| There's joy in legislative halls | A |
| When Frank's in opposition | B |
| But gloom upon the Chamber falls | A |
| When Frank holds high position | B |
| His merry japes no longer flit | C |
| About the House to mellow it | C |
| For cares of office dull his wit | C |
| And mar his life's great mission | B |
| - | |
| Frank's mission and a high one too | D |
| Amongst the chiefest rating | E |
| Is to infuse come joy anew | D |
| Into the dull debating | E |
| When speakers drone and lose their grip | F |
| And every member has the pip | F |
| Up rises Frank with merry quip | F |
| And humor scintillating | E |
| - | |
| But as a Minister alack | E |
| His ready wit grows clouded | G |
| For higher roles he takes the sack | E |
| For in a House enshrouded | H |
| By weariness when members sup | I |
| Of dreariness the prosy cup | I |
| And word goes round that Frank is up | I |
| The benches soon are crowded | H |
| - | |
| I feel I earn a nation's thanks | J |
| If I with due humility | K |
| Suggest for such a wit as Frank's | J |
| A new and fit nobility | K |
| If I'd my way I'd have him sent | L |
| Our happier moods to represent | L |
| As 'Minister for Merriment | L |
| Without Responsibiiity ' | - |
