The Fun Of Forgiving Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCBB AABB DDBB| Sometimes I'm almost glad to hear when I get home that they've been bad | A |
| And though I try to look severe within my heart I'm really glad | A |
| When mother sadly tells to me the list of awful things they've done | B |
| Because when they come tearfully forgiving them is so much fun | B |
| - | |
| I like to have them all alone with no one near to hear or see | C |
| Then as their little faults they own I like to take them on my knee | C |
| And talk it over and pretend the whipping soon must be begun | B |
| And then to kiss them at the end forgiving them is so much fun | B |
| - | |
| Within the world there's no such charm as children penitent and sad | A |
| Who put two soft and chubby arms around your neck when they've been bad | A |
| And as you view their trembling lips away your temper starts to run | B |
| And from your mind all anger slips forgiving them is so much fun | B |
| - | |
| If there were nothing to forgive I wonder if we'd love them so | D |
| If they were wise enough to live as grown ups do and always go | D |
| Along the pleasant path of right with ne'er a fault from sun to sun | B |
| A lot of joys we'd miss at night forgiving them is so much fun | B |
