Farm Breakfast Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGGHH| Maids shout to breakfast in a merry strife | A |
| And the cat runs to hear the whetted knife | A |
| And dogs are ever in the way to watch | B |
| The mouldy crust and falling bone to catch | C |
| The wooden dishes round in haste are set | D |
| And round the table all the boys are met | D |
| All know their own save Hodge who would be first | E |
| But every one his master leaves the worst | E |
| On every wooden dish a humble claim | F |
| Two rude cut letters mark the owner's name | F |
| From every nook the smile of plenty calls | G |
| And rusty flitches decorate the walls | G |
| Moore's Almanack where wonders never cease | H |
| All smeared with candle snuff and bacon grease | H |
