The Spoiler Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEF GHIJD CJ KKEDLLDD MMDDNNDD| With a twinkle in his eye | A |
| He'd come gayly walkin' by | A |
| An' he'd whistle to the children | B |
| An' he'd beckon 'em to come | C |
| Then he'd chuckle low an' say | D |
| 'Come along I'm on my way | D |
| An' it's I that need your company | E |
| To buy a little gum ' | F |
| - | |
| When his merry call they'd hear | G |
| All the children far an' near | H |
| Would come flyin' from the gardens | I |
| Like the chickens after wheat | J |
| When we'd shake our heads an' say | D |
| 'No you mustn't go to day ' | - |
| He'd beg to let him have 'em | C |
| In a pack about his feet | J |
| - | |
| Oh he spoiled 'em one an' all | K |
| There was not a youngster small | K |
| But was over fed on candy | E |
| An' was stuffed with lollypops | D |
| An' I think his greatest joy | L |
| Was to get some girl or boy | L |
| An' bring 'em to their parents | D |
| All besmeared by chocolate drops | D |
| - | |
| Now the children's hearts are sore | M |
| For he comes to them no more | M |
| And no more to them he whistles | D |
| And no more for them he stops | D |
| But in Paradise I think | N |
| With his chuckle and his wink | N |
| He is leading little angels | D |
| To the heavenly candy shops | D |
