Bribed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJIJ KLKMNONOAPAP| I know that what I did was wrong | A |
| I should have sent you far away | B |
| You tempted me and I'm not strong | A |
| I tried but couldn't answer nay | B |
| I should have packed you off to bed | C |
| Instead I let you stay awhile | D |
| And mother scolded when I said | C |
| That you had bribed me with your smile | D |
| And yesterday I gave to you | E |
| Another piece of chocolate cake | F |
| Some red ripe watermelon too | E |
| And that gave you the stomach ache | F |
| And that was after I'd been told | G |
| You'd had enough you saucy miss | H |
| You tempted me you five year old | G |
| And bribed me with a hug and kiss | H |
| And mother said I mustn't get | I |
| You roller skates yet here they are | J |
| I haven't dared to tell her yet | I |
| Some time she says I'll go too far | J |
| I gave my word I wouldn't buy | K |
| These things for accidents she fears | L |
| Now I must tell when questioned why | K |
| Just how you bribed me with your tears | M |
| I've tried so hard to do the right | N |
| Yet I have broken every vow | O |
| I let you do most every night | N |
| The things your mother won't allow | O |
| I know that I am doing wrong | A |
| Yet all my sense of honor flies | P |
| The moment that you come along | A |
| And bribe me with those wondrous eyes | P |
