Tis The Voice Of The Lobster Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGHE| 'Tis the voice of the Lobster I heard him declare | A |
| You have baked me too brown I must sugar my hair | A |
| As a duck with its eyelids so he with his nose | B |
| Trims his belt and buttons and turns out his toes | B |
| When the sands are all dry he is gay as a lark | C |
| And will talk in contemptuous tones of the Shark | C |
| But when the tide rises and sharks are around | D |
| His voice has a timid and tremulous sound | D |
| - | |
| I passed by his garden and marked with one eye | E |
| How the Owl and Panther were sharing a pie | E |
| The Panther took pie crust and gravy and meat | F |
| While the Owl had the dish as its share of the treat | F |
| When the pie was all finished the Owl as a boon | G |
| Was kindly permitted to pocket the spoon | G |
| While the Panther received knife and fork with a growl | H |
| And concluded the banquet by | E |
