Romance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD HDHDIDID DJJJJDJDIn Paris on a morn of May | A |
I sent a radio transalantic | B |
To catch a steamer on the way | A |
But oh the postal fuss was frantic | B |
They sent me here they sent me there | C |
They were so courteous yet so canny | D |
Then as I wilted in despair | C |
A Frenchman flipped me on the fanny | D |
- | |
'Twas only juts a gentle pat | E |
Yet oh what sympathy behind it | F |
I don't let anyone do that | E |
But somehow then I didn't mind it | F |
He seemed my worry to divine | G |
With kindly smile that foreign mannie | D |
And as we stood in waiting line | G |
With tender touch he tapped my fanny | D |
- | |
It brought a ripple of romance | H |
Into that postal bureau dreary | D |
He gave me such a smiling glance | H |
That somehow I felt gay and cheery | D |
For information on my case | I |
The postal folk searched nook and cranny | D |
He gently tapped with smiling face | I |
His reassurance on my fanny | D |
- | |
So I'll go back to Tennessee | D |
And they will ask How have you spent your | J |
Brief holiday in gay Paree | J |
But I'll not speak of my adventure | J |
Oh say I'm spectacled and grey | J |
Oh say I'm sixty and a grannie | D |
But say that morn of May | J |
A Frenchman flipped me on the fanny | D |
