The Times Table Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHIJIJKK| More than halfway up the pass | A |
| Was a spring with a broken drinking glass | A |
| And whether the farmer drank or not | B |
| His mare was sure to observe the spot | B |
| By cramping the wheel on a water bar | C |
| turning her forehead with a star | C |
| And straining her ribs for a monster sigh | D |
| To which the farmer would make reply | D |
| 'A sigh for every so many breath | E |
| And for every so many sigh a death | E |
| That's what I always tell my wife | F |
| Is the multiplication table of life ' | G |
| The saying may be ever so true | H |
| But it's just the kind of a thing that you | H |
| Nor I nor nobody else may say | I |
| Unless our purpose is doing harm | J |
| And then I know of no better way | I |
| To close a road abandon a farm | J |
| Reduce the births of the human race | K |
| And bring back nature in people's place | K |
