Little Master To His Big Dog Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF DBDB HBIB DFDF| Oh how greedy you look as you stare at my plate | A |
| Your mouth waters so and your big tail is drumming | B |
| Flop flop flop on the carpet and yet if you'll wait | A |
| When we have quite finished your dinner is coming | B |
| - | |
| Yes I know what you mean though you don't speak a word | C |
| You say that you wish that I kindly would let you | D |
| Take your meals with the family which is absurd | C |
| And on a tall chair like a gentleman set you | D |
| - | |
| But how little you think my dear dog when you talk | E |
| You've no table manners you bolt meat you gobble | F |
| And how could you eat bones with a knife spoon and fork | G |
| You would be in a most inconvenient hobble | F |
| - | |
| And yet once on a time it is certainly true | D |
| My own manners wanted no little refining | B |
| For I gobbled and spilled and was greedy like you | D |
| And had no idea of good manners when dining | B |
| - | |
| So that when I consider the tricks you have caught | H |
| To sit or shake paws with the utmost good breeding | B |
| I must own it quite possible you may be taught | I |
| The use of a plate and a nice style of feeding | B |
| - | |
| Therefore try to learn manners and eat as I do | D |
| Don't glare at the joint and as soon as you're able | F |
| To behave like the rest you shall feed with us too | D |
| And dine like a gentleman sitting at table | F |
