Expenses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DDEE F GG| I'm sick to death of money of the lack of it that is | A |
| And of practising perpetually small economies | B |
| Of paring off a penny here another penny there | C |
| Of the planning and the worrying the everlasting care | C |
| - | |
| The savages went naked and no doubt digested fruit | D |
| And when they longed for partridge all they had to do was shoot | D |
| But it may be Mrs Savage was extravagant in paint | E |
| And all the little Savages made juvenile complaint | E |
| - | |
| 'I want a bow like We We's I want a fine canoe | F |
| I don't have half such dandy things as other fellers do ' | - |
| And Mrs Savage quite agreed it was an awful shame | G |
| So Mr Savage sighed about expenses just the same | G |
