Couldn't Live Without You Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDD EEFFDD GGAADD| You're just a little fellow with a lot of funny ways | A |
| Just three foot six of mischief set with eyes that fairly blaze | A |
| You're always up to something with those busy hands o' yours | B |
| And you leave a trail o' ruin on the walls an' on the doors | C |
| An' I wonder as I watch you an' your curious tricks I see | D |
| Whatever is the reason that you mean so much to me | D |
| - | |
| You're just a chubby rascal with a grin upon your face | E |
| Just seven years o' gladness an' a hard and trying case | E |
| You think the world's your playground an' in all you say an' do | F |
| You fancy everybody ought to bow an' scrape to you | F |
| Dull care's a thing you laugh at just as though 'twill never be | D |
| So I wonder little fellow why you mean so much to me | D |
| - | |
| Now your face is smeared with candy or perhaps it's only dirt | G |
| An' it's really most alarming how you tear your little shirt | G |
| But I have to smile upon you an' with all your wilful ways | A |
| I'm certain that I need you 'round about me all my days | A |
| Yes I've got to have you with me for somehow it's come to be | D |
| That I couldn't live without you for you're all the world to me | D |
