What Uncle Rob Says Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABB CC D C E BBAUncle Rob says | A |
That once on a time the fire flies | B |
Were stars with the others up in the skies | B |
- | |
They used to shimmer and dance and play | C |
Night after night in the Milky Way | C |
- | |
But when their papa the stern old Sun | D |
Said 'off to bed with you every one ' | - |
- | |
These bold little stars refused to obey | C |
'Let's hide in that cloud and then run away ' | - |

'Let's run to the earth ' these bad stars said | E |
'We are quite too old to be sent to bed ' | - |

So then they were exiled out of the skies | B |
And that's how we came with the fire flies | B |
So Uncle Rob says | A |
