Retirement Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEF

Two wooden legs and one wheelA
That has stood the test of timeB
Now sit dormant by the garden shedC

Bones too brittle to grasp and liftD
Loads too numerous to mentionE
A lifetime of graft now passedF

Poet's note: Gazing out at the old wheelbarrow that belonged to my grandfather took me back to childhood. He used to sit me in this wheelbarrow after his work was done and we'd both laugh as he ran over the small bumps of the lawn. Other times I would watch him humping and heaving and how that wheelbarrow didn't collapse I'll never know. Happy times.
