Another Mouth To Feed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJIJ KFKFLMLMNONOPFPF| We've got another mouth to feed | A |
| From out our little store | B |
| To satisfy another's need | A |
| Is now my daily chore | B |
| A growing family is ours | C |
| Beyond the slightest doubt | D |
| It takes all my financial powers | C |
| To keep them looking stout | D |
| With us another makes his bow | E |
| To breakfast dine and sup | F |
| Our little circle's larger now | E |
| For Buddy's got a pup | F |
| If I am frayed about the heels | G |
| And both my elbows shine | H |
| And if my overcoat reveals | G |
| The poverty that's mine | H |
| 'Tis not because I squander gold | I |
| In folly's reckless way | J |
| The cost of foodstuffs be it told | I |
| Takes all my weekly pay | J |
| 'Tis putting food on empty plates | K |
| That eats my wages up | F |
| And now another mouth awaits | K |
| For Buddy's got a pup | F |
| And yet I gladly stand the strain | L |
| And count the task worth while | M |
| Nor will I dismally complain | L |
| While Buddy wears a smile | M |
| What's one mouth more at any board | N |
| Though costly be the fare | O |
| The poorest of us can afford | N |
| His frugal meal to share | O |
| And so bring on the extra plate | P |
| He will not need a cup | F |
| And gladly will I pay the freight | P |
| Now Buddy's got a pup | F |
