Tuckered Out Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKDKD LKLKMNMO| YOU don't weigh more than thirty pounds | A |
| Your legs are little plump and fat | B |
| And yet you patter on your rounds | A |
| The whole day long within our flat | B |
| Yes ceaselessly you come and go | C |
| In search of things you want to see | D |
| You're only two years old but oh | C |
| You walk the strength right out of me | D |
| - | |
| A dozen times a day or more | E |
| You gayly lead me up the stairs | F |
| Then back to try the kitchen door | E |
| Then round about the parlor chairs | F |
| You come and take me by the hand | G |
| And splendidly you march away | H |
| Until by night I scarce can stand | G |
| While you are fresh and keen for play | H |
| - | |
| You know not what it is to tire | I |
| You never seem to care for rest | J |
| You seem to have but one desire | I |
| And that's to go 'till you're undressed | J |
| And this tonight I'll say to you | K |
| As you are tugging at my knee | D |
| That it is all that I can do | K |
| To keep the pace you set for me | D |
| - | |
| Oh little chap with tireless step | L |
| Oh little laughing chap of two | K |
| I somehow wish I had your 'pep' | L |
| And could keep up as well as you | K |
| I wish I had what you possess | M |
| The strength to romp and play and run | N |
| Yet every Sunday I confess | M |
| I'm tuckered out when night comes on | O |
