My Feud Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EFEFEF GHGHGH IJIJKK| I hate my neighbour Widow Green | A |
| I'd like to claw her face | B |
| But if I did she'd make a scene | A |
| And run me round the place | B |
| For widows are in way of spleen | A |
| A most pugnacious race | B |
| - | |
| And yet I must do something quick | C |
| To keep the hag in line | D |
| Since her red rooster chose to pick | C |
| Five lettuce heads of mine | D |
| And so I fed it arsenic | C |
| Which it did not decline | D |
| - | |
| It disappeared but on my mat | E |
| Before a week had sped | F |
| I found Mi mi my tabby cat | E |
| And it was stoney dead | F |
| I diagnosed with weeping that | E |
| On strychnine it had fed | F |
| - | |
| And so I bought a hamburg steak | G |
| Primed it with powdered glass | H |
| And left it for her dog to take | G |
| With gulping from the grass | H |
| Since then although I lie awake | G |
| I have not seen it pass | H |
| - | |
| Well that's the scoring up to date | I |
| And as I read a text | J |
| From Job to justify my hate | I |
| I wonder who'll be next | J |
| Somehow I feel that one must die | K |
| Ma Green or I | K |
