Maternity Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHAHIJKJ ABDBLMNM| There once was a Square such a square little Square | A |
| And he loved a trim Triangle | B |
| But she was a flirt and around her skirt | C |
| Vainly she made him dangle | B |
| Oh he wanted to wed and he had no dread | D |
| Of domestic woes and wrangles | E |
| For he thought that his fate was to procreate | F |
| Cute little Squares and Triangles | E |
| - | |
| Now it happened one day on that geometric way | G |
| There swaggered a big bold Cube | H |
| With a haughty stare and he made that Square | A |
| Have the air of a perfect boob | H |
| To his solid spell the Triangle fell | I |
| And she thrilled with love's sweet sickness | J |
| For she took delight in his breadth and height | K |
| But how she adored his thickness | J |
| - | |
| So that poor little Square just died of despair | A |
| For his love he could not strangle | B |
| While the bold Cube led to the bridal bed | D |
| That cute and acute Triangle | B |
| The Square's sad lot she has long forgot | L |
| And his passionate pretensions | M |
| For she dotes on her kids Oh such cute Pyramids | N |
| In a world of three dimensions | M |
