Doughnuts And Cider Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEECC FFGHCC| LAST night I single handed fought a gang of murderers that came | A |
| To get my money or my life and very nearly did the same | A |
| I struggled with them on a cliff and over it I toppled two | B |
| I hit another one a biff that dazed him but I wasn't through | B |
| As fast as one was overpowered another villain forced the fight | C |
| Because four doughnuts I devoured and used a cider wash last night | C |
| - | |
| The horse that I was riding ran away with me at furious pace | D |
| He tossed me up against a tree I ploughed a furrow with my face | D |
| A farmer's bull was grazing near and he took up the battle then | E |
| And landed me upon my ear upon the farmer's cattle pen | E |
| An aeroplane came whizzing by I grabbed at it with all my might | C |
| Because four doughnuts that you buy with cider I washed down last night | C |
| - | |
| A strange and angry beast then came a creature with a horrid grunt | F |
| The way he used me was a shame he galloped up and down my front | F |
| He had the roughest kind of feet that ever I have gazed upon | G |
| His breath was hardly fresh and sweet of nostrils he had only one | H |
| But that belched fire and brimstone too his tusks were long and sharp and white | C |
| It's awful what doughnuts will do when mixed with cider late at night | C |
