Bud Discusses Cleanliness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFFGG HHIIJJ KKLLGG| First thing in the morning last I hear at night | A |
| Get it when I come from school 'My you look a sight | A |
| Go upstairs this minute an' roll your sleeves up high | B |
| An' give your hands a scrubbing and wipe 'em till they're dry | B |
| Now don't stand there and argue and never mind your tears | C |
| And this time please remember to wash your neck and ears ' | D |
| - | |
| Can't see why ears grow on us all crinkled like a shell | E |
| With lots of fancy carvings that make a feller yell | E |
| Each time his Ma digs in them to get a speck of dirt | F |
| When plain ones would be easy to wash and wouldn't hurt | F |
| And I can't see the reason why every time Ma nears | G |
| She thinks she's got to send me to wash my neck and ears | G |
| - | |
| I never wash to suit her don't think I ever will | H |
| If I was white as sister she'd call me dirty still | H |
| At night I get a scrubbing and go to bed and then | I |
| The first thing in the morning she makes me wash again | I |
| That strikes me as ridiklus I've thought of it a heap | J |
| A feller can't get dirty when he is fast asleep | J |
| - | |
| When I grow up to be a man like Pa and have a wife | K |
| And kids to boss around you bet they'll have an easy life | K |
| We won't be at them all the time the way they keep at me | L |
| And kick about a little dirt that no one else can see | L |
| And every night at supper time as soon as he appears | G |
| We will not chase our boy away to wash his neck and ears | G |
