Shovel And Tongs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFG HIJI KLML

The Poker proposed to the shovelA
That they should be man and wifeB
'I think ' said he 'that we could agreeC
As we journey along through life 'D
-
The Shovel blushed as she answeredE
'I thank you kindly MisterF
But my promise belongs to the faithful TongsG
So I only can be your sister '-
-
And when the couple were marriedH
The Stove gave the Shovel awayI
And it seemed too bad that the Poker poor ladJ
Was the Tongs' best man on that dayI
-
But the Poker soon after was weddedK
To the hearth broom slender and slickL
And 'twas whispered about Mrs Tongs was put outM
Because he found comfort so quickL
