Dear Friends, We Surely All Agree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIBB JKIILLMMDDIINNOODDPP QQRRSSKJTTUUVVWWBBBB XXYYZA2'Dear friends we surely all agree | A |
There's almost nothing worse to see | A |
Than some repulsive little bum | B |
Who's always chewing chewing gum | B |
It's very near as bad as those | C |
Who sit around and pick the nose | C |
So please believe us when we say | D |
That chewing gum will never pay | D |
This sticky habit's bound to send | E |
The chewer to a sticky end | E |
Did any of you ever know | F |
A person called Miss Bigelow | F |
This dreadful woman saw no wrong | G |
In chewing chewing all day long | G |
She chewed while bathing in the tub | H |
She chewed while dancing at her club | H |
She chewed in church and on the bus | I |
It really was quite ludicrous | I |
And when she couldn't find her gum | B |
She'd chew up the linoleum | B |
Or anything that happened near | J |
A pair of boots the postman's ear | K |
Or other people's underclothes | I |
And once she chewed her boy friend's nose | I |
She went on chewing till at last | L |
Her chewing muscles grew so vast | L |
That from her face her giant chin | M |
Stuck out just like a violin | M |
For years and years she chewed away | D |
Consuming fifty packs a day | D |
Until one summer's eve alas | I |
A horrid business came to pass | I |
Miss Bigelow went late to bed | N |
For half an hour she lay and read | N |
Chewing and chewing all the while | O |
Like some great clockwork crocodile | O |
At last she put her gum away | D |
Upon a special little tray | D |
And settled back and went to sleep | P |
She managed this by counting sheep | P |
But now how strange Although she slept | Q |
Those massive jaws of hers still kept | Q |
On chewing chewing through the night | R |
Even with nothing there to bite | R |
They were you see in such a groove | S |
They positively had to move | S |
And very grim it was to hear | K |
In pitchy darkness loud and clear | J |
This sleeping woman's great big trap | T |
Opening and shutting snap snap snap | T |
Faster and faster chop chop chop | U |
The noise went on it wouldn't stop | U |
Until at last her jaws decide | V |
To pause and open extra wide | V |
And with the most tremendous chew | W |
They bit the lady's tongue in two | W |
Thereafter just from chewing gum | B |
Miss Bigelow was always dumb | B |
And spent her life shut up in some | B |
Disgusting sanatorium | B |
And that is why we'll try so hard | X |
To save Miss Violet Beauregard | X |
From suffering an equal fate | Y |
She's still quite young It's not too late | Y |
Provided she survives the cure | Z |
We hope she does We can't be sure ' | A2 |
