Laughter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHHII JJKKLL

Laughter sort o' settles breakfast better than digestive pillsA
Found it somehow in my travels cure for every sort of illsA
When the hired help have riled me with their slipshod careless waysB
An' I'm bilin' mad an' cussin' an' my temper's all ablazeB
If the calf gets me to laughin' while they're teachin' him to feedC
Pretty soon I'm feelin' better 'cause I've found the cure I needC
-
Like to start the day with laughter when I've had a peaceful nightD
An' can greet the sun all smilin' that day's goin' to be all rightD
But there's nothing goes to suit me when my system's full of bileE
Even horses quit their pullin' when the driver doesn't smileE
But they'll buckle to the traces when they hear a glad giddapF
Just as though they like to labor for a cheerful kind o' chapF
-
Laughter keeps me strong an' healthy You can bet I'm all run downG
Fit for doctor folks an' nurses when I cannot shake my frownG
Found in farmin' laughter's useful good for sheep an' cows an' goatsH
When I've laughed my way through summer reap the biggest crop of oatsH
Laughter's good for any business leastwise so it seems to meI
Never knew a smilin' feller but was busy as could beI
-
Sometimes sit an' think about it ponderin' on the ways of lifeJ
Wonderin' why mortals gladly face the toil an care an' strifeJ
Then I come to this conclusion take it now for what it's worthK
It's the joy of laughter keeps us plodding on this stretch of earthK
Men the fun o' life are seeking that's the reason for the calfL
Spillin' mash upon his keeper men are hungry for a laughL
