My Favoured Fare Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACA ADADEAEA FGFGHAHASome poets sing of scenery | A |
Some to fair maids make sonnets sweet | B |
A fig for love and greenery | A |
Be mine a song of things to eat | B |
Let brother bards divinely dream | C |
I'm just plain human as you see | A |
And choose to carol such a theme | C |
As ham and eggs and tea | A |
- | |
Just two fried eggs or maybe three | A |
With lacy rims and sunside up | D |
Pink coral ham and amber tea | A |
Poured in a big fat china cup | D |
I have no crave for finer fare | E |
That's just the chuck for chaps like me | A |
Aye if I were a millionaire | E |
Just ham and eggs and tea | A |
- | |
When of life's fussiness I tire | F |
And on my skull I wear a cap | G |
As tartan shawled beside the fire | F |
I stroke the kitten on my lap | G |
Give me no broth and chicken breast | H |
My last repast shall hearty be | A |
Oh how I'll sup with chuckling zest | H |
On ham and eggs and tea | A |
