Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGFGHIHI JKJKILILTo have a business of my own | A |
With toil and tears | B |

For others gain | E |

I scrimped and scraped as cent by cent | F |
My savings grew | G |

Made it like new | G |
Above the door the paint was dry | H |

I waited there for folks to buy | H |
But no one came | I |

Now I am back where I began | J |
Myself I sell | K |

And life is hell | K |
An empty shop of bankrupt shame | I |
I pass before | L |
Seeing my bitter bleary name | I |
Above the door | L |
