What Home's Intended For Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEECC FFAAGC| When the young folks gather 'round in the good old fashioned way | A |
| Singin' all the latest songs gathered from the newest play | A |
| Or they start the phonograph an' shove the chairs back to the wall | B |
| An' hold a little party dance I'm happiest of all | B |
| Then I sorter settle back plumb contented to the core | C |
| An' I tell myself most proudly that's what home's intended for | C |
| - | |
| When the laughter's gaily ringin' an' the room is filled with song | D |
| I like to sit an' watch 'em all that glad an' merry throng | D |
| For the ragtime they are playin' on the old piano there | E |
| Beats any high toned music where the bright lights shine an' glare | E |
| An' the racket they are makin' stirs my pulses more and more | C |
| So I whisper in my gladness that's what home's intended for | C |
| - | |
| Then I smile an' say to Mother let 'em move the chairs about | F |
| Let 'em frolic in the parlor let 'em shove the tables out | F |
| Jus' so long as they are near us jus' so long as they will stay | A |
| By the fireplace we are keepin' harm will never come their way | A |
| An' you'll never hear me grumble at the bills that keep me poor | G |
| It's the finest part o' livin' that's what home's intended for | C |
