Mrs. Merdle Accepteth Of A Slight Dinner, Suitable For A Woman Suffering With Dyspepsia. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACA DEDE| Some turkey why yes the least mite will suffice | A |
| A side bone and dressing and bit of the breast | B |
| The tip of the rump that's it and one o' the fli's | A |
| In spite of the doctor my appetite's none of the best | B |
| And so I must pamper the delicate thing | C |
| And tickle a fancy that's very capricious | A |
| With bits of a turkey the breast or the wing | C |
| With beef very tender and gravy delicious | A |
| - | |
| Some beef now I thank you not any at present | D |
| I'll nibble a little at what I have got | E |
| And wish for a duck or a grouse or a pheasant | D |
| Though none of them come for a wish in the pot | E |
