Fiddle-dee-dee Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAA CCDDAA DDEEAA AAFFAA DDGHIAA| There once was a bird that lived up in a tree | A |
| And all he could whistle was Fiddle dee dee | A |
| A very provoking unmusical song | B |
| For one to be whistling the summer day long | B |
| Yet always contented and busy was he | A |
| With that vocal recurrence of Fiddle dee dee | A |
| - | |
| Hard by lived a brave little soldier of four | C |
| That weird iteration repented him sore | C |
| I prithee Dear Mother Mine fetch me my gun | D |
| For by our St Didy the deed must be done | D |
| That shall presently rid all creation and me | A |
| Of that ominous bird and his 'Fiddle dee dee' | A |
| - | |
| Then out came Dear Mother Mine bringing her son | D |
| His awfully truculent little red gun | D |
| The stock was of pine and the barrel of tin | E |
| The bang it came out where the bullet went in | E |
| The right kind of weapon I think you'll agree | A |
| For slaying all fowl that go Fiddle dee dee | A |
| - | |
| The brave little soldier quoth never a word | A |
| But he up and he drew a straight bead on that bird | A |
| And while that vain creature provokingly sang | F |
| The gun it went off with a terrible bang | F |
| Then loud laughed the youth By my Bottle cried he | A |
| I've put a quietus on 'Fiddle dee dee' | A |
| - | |
| Out came then Dear Mother Mine saying My son | D |
| Right well have you wrought with your little red gun | D |
| Hereafter no evil at all need I fear | G |
| With such a brave soldier as You My Love here | H |
| She kissed the dear boy | I |
| The bird in the tree | A |
| Continued to whistle his Fiddle dee dee | A |
