My Twins Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC DCDCECEC FGFGHCIC JKJKALALOf twin daughters I'm the mother | A |
Lord how I was proud of them | B |
Each the image of the other | A |
Like two lilies on one stem | B |
But while May my first born daughter | A |
Was angelic from the first | C |
Different as wine and water | A |
Maude my second seemed accurst | C |
- | |
I'm a tender hearted dame | D |
Military is my bent | C |
Thus my pretty dears can claim | D |
For their Pa the Regiment | C |
As they say to err is human | E |
But though lots of love I've had | C |
I'm an ordinary women | E |
Just as good as I am bad | C |
- | |
Good and bad should find their level | F |
So I often wonder why | G |
May was angel Maude was devil | F |
Yet between the two was I | G |
May they say has taken vows | H |
Sister Mary pure and sweet | C |
Maudie's in a bawdy house | I |
Down in Mariposa Street | C |
- | |
It's not natural I'm thinking | J |
One should pray the other curse | K |
I'm so worried I am drinking | J |
Which is making matters worse | K |
Yet my daughters love each other | A |
And I love them equal well | L |
Saint and sinner call me mother | A |
Ain't heredity just hell | L |
