My Consolation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAAAC DEDEFGFG HAHAIJHJ| 'Nay I don't need a hearing aid' | A |
| I told Mama in law | B |
| 'For if I had I'd be afraid | A |
| Of your eternal jaw | B |
| Although at me you often shout | A |
| I'm undisturbed | A |
| To tell the truth I can't make out | A |
| A single word ' | C |
| - | |
| And it's the same with others who | D |
| Attempt to gab at me | E |
| I listen to their point of view | D |
| And solemnly agree | E |
| To story stale and silly joke | F |
| Stone deaf's my ear | G |
| Each day a dozen stupid folk | F |
| I fail to hear | G |
| - | |
| So silence that should be my grief | H |
| Is my escape and shield | A |
| From spiteful speech and base relief | H |
| My aural sense is sealed | A |
| And in my cosy cot of peace | I |
| I close the door | J |
| Praising the gods for rich relief | H |
| From fool and bore | J |
