Ideal And Aftermath Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED AFAFDDCD AGAGHICI AJAJCICI| I wed him because he looked nice said she | A |
| And I feared to be left on the shelf | B |
| For I wouldn't take mother's advice said she | A |
| So I've no one to blame but myself | B |
| My friends always said that he had a flat head | C |
| And a curious cranial kink | D |
| But I feel 'neath the spell of his lovely marcel | E |
| Now he's bald and he's taken to drink | D |
| - | |
| I wed him because he looked slim said she | A |
| And athletic and noble and brave | F |
| I thought there was no one like him said she | A |
| For he really knew how to behave | F |
| Now he's humble and meek and whenever I speak | D |
| He cringes and crawls like a tyke | D |
| Tho' bay windowed in front he's the soul of a runt | C |
| And I bully him just as I like | D |
| - | |
| I wed him because he looked sweet said she | A |
| Of manhood my very ideal | G |
| I thought that my bliss was complete said she | A |
| I could hardly believe he was real | G |
| But he's real right enough tho' not quite of the stuff | H |
| I'd imagined the day I said 'Yes' | I |
| But I hardly mind that tho' he's bald and he's fat | C |
| And slovenly too in his dress | I |
| - | |
| I wed him for better or worse said she | A |
| When with love I was slightly insane | J |
| But there's ne'er a regret that I nurse said she | A |
| For I've really small cause to complain | J |
| For I'm fifty and fat and my arches are flat | C |
| And I grumble and fidget and fuss | I |
| Yet he thought me he said a dream child when we wed | C |
| So it's just fifty fifty with us | I |
