Uncle Charlie Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FBABGHIH JKLMLNON| I had an uncle long since dead | A |
| Who left me his estate | B |
| Consisting of a wooden bed | A |
| And a rotten wooden gate | B |
| Some baccy in a biscuit tin | C |
| His dentures in a cup | D |
| And a pair of dirty braces | E |
| To keep his britches up | D |
| - | |
| A shovel with a hole in it | F |
| And ashes in the grate | B |
| A little chest by his bed | A |
| Burnt toast upon a plate | B |
| His shiny suit for Sunday best | G |
| Hung upon the door | H |
| A clippy mat in red and black | I |
| Laid on the welsh slate floor | H |
| - | |
| His slippers by the fireside | J |
| With holes where his big toes sat | K |
| And on the arm of his horse hair chair | L |
| Sat his faithful old flat cap | M |
| Oh but I was rich beyond compare | L |
| For I ll laugh both night and day | N |
| At what that blighter left to me | O |
| Till time is done and then a day | N |
