Booh! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFFCD GHIJCD| On afternoons when baby boy has had a splendid nap | A |
| And sits like any monarch on his throne in nurse's lap | A |
| In some such wise my handkerchief I hold before my face | B |
| And cautiously and quietly I move about the place | B |
| Then with a cry I suddenly expose my face to view | C |
| And you should hear him laugh and crow when I say Booh | D |
| - | |
| Sometimes the rascal tries to make believe that he is scared | E |
| And really when I first began he stared and stared and stared | E |
| And then his under lip came out and farther out it came | F |
| Till mamma and the nurse agreed it was a cruel shame | F |
| But now what does that same wee toddling lisping baby do | C |
| But laugh and kick his little heels when I say Booh | D |
| - | |
| He laughs and kicks his little heels in rapturous glee and then | G |
| In shrill despotic treble bids me do it all aden | H |
| And I of course I do it for as his progenitor | I |
| It is such pretty pleasant play as this that I am for | J |
| And it is oh such fun I and sure that we shall rue | C |
| The time when we are both too old to play the game Booh | D |
