Aunt Jane Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFFDC GGHHIJ KKLLFFWhen Aunt Jane died we hunted round | A |
And money everywhere we found | A |
How much I do not care to say | B |
But no death duties will we pay | B |
And Aunt Jane will be well content | C |
We bilked the bloody Government | D |
- | |
While others spent she loved to save | E |
But couldn't take it to her grave | E |
While others save we love to spend | F |
She hated us but in the end | F |
Because she left no Testament | D |
To us all her possessions went | C |
- | |
That is to say they did not find | G |
A lawyer's Will of any kind | G |
Yet there was one in her own hand | H |
A Home for Ailing Cats she planned | H |
Well you can understand my ire | I |
Promptly I put it in the fire | J |
- | |
In misery she chose to die | K |
Yet we will make her money fly | K |
And as we mourn for poor Aunt Jane | L |
The thought alleviates our pain | L |
Perhaps her savings in the end | F |
Gave her more joy than we who spend | F |
