The Fool Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACDDCEFCEFC| Here is a tale for children and their grannies | A |
| There was a fool a man who'd had his chances | B |
| But missed them somehow lost them just for fancies | A |
| Tag ends of things with which he'd crammed crannies | A |
| Of his cracked head as panes are crammed with paper | C |
| Fragments of song and bits of worthless writing | D |
| Which he was never weary of reciting | D |
| Fluttered his mind as night a windy taper | C |
| A witless fool who lived in some fair Venice | E |
| Of his own building where he dreamed of Beauty | F |
| Who swore each weed a flower the sorry pauper | C |
| This would not do Men said he was a menace | E |
| To all mankind and as it was their duty | F |
| Clapped him in prison where he died as proper | C |
