An Appreciative Audience Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE GGHIIH| My son I wish that it were half | A |
| As easy to extract a laugh | A |
| From grown ups as from thee | B |
| Then I'd go on the stage my boy | C |
| While Richard Carle and Eddie Foy | C |
| Burned up with jealousy | B |
| - | |
| I wouldn't have to rack my brain | D |
| Or lie awake all night in vain | D |
| Pursuit of brand new jokes | E |
| Nor fear my lines were heard with groans | F |
| Of pain and sympathetic moans | F |
| From sympathetic folks | E |
| - | |
| I'd merely have to make a face | G |
| Just twist a feature out of place | G |
| And be the soul of wit | H |
| Or bark and then pretend to bite | I |
| And from the screams of wild delight | I |
| Be sure I'd made a hit | H |
