Room Ghost Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EFEFEF AGAGAG AHAHAH AAA| Though elegance I ill afford | A |
| My living room is green and gold | B |
| The former tenant was a lord | A |
| Who died of drinking I am told | B |
| I fancy he was rather bored | A |
| I don't think he was over old | B |
| - | |
| And where on books I dully browse | C |
| And gaze in rapture at the sea | D |
| My predecessor world carouse | C |
| In lavish infidelity | D |
| With ladies amoral as cows | C |
| But interesting you'll agree | D |
| - | |
| I'm dull as water in a ditch | E |
| Making these silly bits of rhyme | F |
| My Lord I'm told was passing rich | E |
| And must have has a lovely time | F |
| With champagne and a pretty bitch | E |
| No need to heed the church bell chime | F |
| - | |
| My living room is marble floored | A |
| And on its ceiling cherubs play | G |
| But like my lord I'm often bored | A |
| And put my sullen books away | G |
| And though my people say I snored | A |
| I dream of indiscretions gay | G |
| - | |
| And often in the niggard night | A |
| When sweet sleep I fail to drown | H |
| I seem to see that noble sprite | A |
| In monocle and dressing gown | H |
| A glass of brandy to the light | A |
| He holds and winks and drinks it down | H |
| - | |
| When life's so beautifully planned | A |
| Dear reader can you understand | A |
| Why men should die be their own hand | A |
