The World And Bud Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDD EEFFGG HHIJAA| If we were all alike what a dreadful world 'twould be | A |
| No one would know which one was you or which of us was me | A |
| We'd never have a 'Skinny' or a 'Freckles' or a 'Fat ' | B |
| An' there wouldn't be a sissy boy to wear a velvet hat | C |
| An' we'd all of us be pitchers when we played a baseball match | D |
| For we'd never have a feller who'd have nerve enough to catch | D |
| - | |
| If we were all alike an' looked an' thought the same | E |
| I wonder how'd they call us 'cause there'd only be one name | E |
| An' there'd only be one flavor for our ice cream sodas too | F |
| An' one color for a necktie an' I 'spose that would be blue | F |
| An' maybe we'd have mothers who were very fond of curls | G |
| An' they'd make us fellers wear our hair like lovely little girls | G |
| - | |
| Sometimes I think it's funny when I hear some feller say | H |
| That he isn't fond of chocolate when I eat it every day | H |
| Or some other fellow doesn't like the books I like to read | I |
| But I'm glad that we are different yes siree I am indeed | J |
| If everybody looked alike an' talked alike Oh Gee | A |
| We'd never know which one was you or which of us was me | A |
