Facility Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HBIB JKJK JLJL JMJM| So easy 'tis to make a rhyme | A |
| That did the world but know it | B |
| Your coachman might Parnassus climb | A |
| Your butler be a poet | C |
| - | |
| Then oh how charming it would be | D |
| If when in haste hysteric | E |
| You called the page you learned that he | D |
| Was grappling with a lyric | E |
| - | |
| Or else what rapture it would yield | F |
| When cook sent up the salad | G |
| To find within its depths concealed | F |
| A touching little ballad | G |
| - | |
| Or if for tea and toast you yearned | H |
| What joy to find upon it | B |
| The chambermaid had coyly laid | I |
| A palpitating sonnet | B |
| - | |
| Your baker could the fashion set | J |
| Your butcher might respond well | K |
| With every tart a triolet | J |
| With every chop a rondel | K |
| - | |
| Your tailor's bill well I'll be blowed | J |
| Dear chap I never knowed him | L |
| He's gone and written me an ode | J |
| Instead of what I owed him | L |
| - | |
| So easy 'tis to rhyme yet stay | J |
| Oh terrible misgiving | M |
| Please do not give the game away | J |
| I've got to make my living | M |
