Ogs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHHG IJJH KKLLM N OOP Q RRSSTT MHSHLRBRHHR U SSMMV OO WWX SSVVUUYM AAEEWWZZSSLIt chanced one day in the middle of May | A |
There came to the great King Splosh | B |
A policeman who said while scratching his head | C |
There isn't a stone in Gosh | B |
To throw at a dog for the crafty Og | D |
Last Saturday week at one | E |
Took our last blue metal in order to settle | F |
A bill for a toy pop gun ' | G |
Said the King jokingly | H |
'Why how provokingly | H |
Weird but we have the gun ' | G |
- | |
And the King said 'Well we are stony broke ' | - |
But the Queen could not see it was much of a joke | I |
And she said 'If the metal is all used up | J |
Pray what of the costume I want for the Cup | J |
It all seems so dreadfully simple to me | H |
The stones Why import them from over the sea ' | - |
But a Glug stood up with a mole on his chin | K |
And said with a most diabolical grin | K |
'Your Majesties down in the country of Podge | L |
A spy has discovered a very 'cute dodge | L |
And the Ogs are determined to wage a war | M |
On Gosh next Friday at half past four ' | - |
Then the Glugs all cried in a terrible fright | N |
'How did our grandfathers manage a fight ' | - |
- | |
Then the Knight Sir Stodge he opened his Book | O |
And he read 'Some very large stones they took | O |
And flung at the foe with exceeding force | P |
Which was very effective tho' rude of course ' | - |
And lo with sorrowful wails and moans | Q |
The Glugs cried 'Where Oh where are the stones ' | - |
And some rushed North and a few ran West | R |
Seeking the substitutes seeming best | R |
And they gathered the pillows and cushions and rugs | S |
From the homes of the rich and middle class Glugs | S |
And a hasty message they managed to send | T |
Craving the loan of some bricks from a friend | T |
- | |
On the Friday exactly at half past four | M |
Came the Ogs with triumphant glee | H |
And the first of their stones hit poor Mister Ghones | S |
The captain of industry | H |
Then a pebble of Podge took the Knight Sir Stodge | L |
In the curve of his convex vest | R |
He gurgled 'Un Gluggish ' His heart growing sluggish | B |
He solemnly sank to rest | R |
'Tis inconceivable | H |
Scarcely believable | H |
Yet he was sent to rest | R |
- | |
And the King said 'Ouch ' And the Queen said ' o | U |
My bee ootiful drawing room What shall I do ' | - |
But the warlike Ogs they hurled great rocks | S |
Thro' the works of the wonderful eight day clocks | S |
They had sold to the Glugs but a month before | M |
Which was very absurd but of course 'twas war | M |
And the Glugs cried 'What would our grandfathers do | V |
If they hadn't the stones that they one time threw ' | - |
But the Knight Sir Stodge and his mystic Book | O |
Oblivious slept in a grave yard nook | O |
- | |
Then a Glug stood out with a pot in his hand | W |
As the King was bewailing the fate of his land | W |
And he said 'If these Ogs you desire to retard | X |
Then hit them quite frequent with anything hard ' | - |
So the Glugs seized anvils and editors' chairs | S |
And smote the Ogs with them unawares | S |
And bottles of pickles and clocks they threw | V |
And books of poems and gherkins and glue | V |
Which they'd bought with the stones as of course you know | U |
From the Ogs but a couple of months ago | U |
Which was simply inane when you reason it o'er | Y |
And uneconomic but then it was war | M |
- | |
When they'd fought for a night and the most of a day | A |
The Ogs threw the last of their metal away | A |
Then they went back to Podge well content with their fun | E |
And with much satisfaction declared they had won | E |
And the King of the Glugs gazed around on his land | W |
And saw nothing but stones strewn on every hand | W |
Great stones in the palace and stones in the street | Z |
And stones on the house tops and under the feet | Z |
And he said with a desperate look on his face | S |
'There is nothing so ghastly as stones out of place | S |
And no doubt this Og scheme was a very smart dodge | L |
But whom does it profit my people or Podge ' | - |
