The Goose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABCCBDBADBA| Here is a tale for spinsters at their sewing | A |
| There was a goose a little gosling surely | B |
| Who went her goose girl way and looked demurely | B |
| As every goose should when 'tis wise and knowing | A |
| Proper was she as every gosling should be | B |
| And innocent as Margarete or Gretchen | C |
| And did her duty in the house and kitchen | C |
| And like a goose was happy as she could be | B |
| Smug was she with a sleek and dove like dimple | D |
| Great gooseberry eyes and cheeks out of the dairy | B |
| A goose aye just a goose a little dumb thing | A |
| One day the goose was gone The tale is simple | D |
| She had eloped 'Twas nothing ordinary | B |
| A married man with children That was something | A |
