Romance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD HDHDIDID DJJJJDJD| In 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 |
