The Christmas Beetle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAAAABBAA| When Christmas comes the Christmas heat'll | A |
| bring once more the Christmas Beetle | A |
| The first inflammatory breeze'll | A |
| set him buzzing like a diesel | A |
| Hear him open up his throttle | A |
| as he hums above the wattle | A |
| Hear him zoom and snarl and rattle | A |
| Like a fighter plane in battle | A |
| Watch him dive to sink and settle | A |
| Folding up his wings of metal | A |
| Cutting off the engines sound | B |
| as quietly as he comes to ground | B |
| Then watch some sparrows frail and lowly | A |
| Strike him swiftly rend him wholly | A |
