The Splash Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEE FFGH II| Kicked back having a port and I hears this splash | A |
| Being curious as I am I grab the torch in a flash | A |
| Well wouldn't you know it the nd time in months | B |
| I've had a personal encounter with a duck billed platypus | C |
| - | |
| She sat there all frozen like a starfish floating by | D |
| Well that is until she turned and caught my glaring eye | D |
| She went absolutely bananas and took off like a rocket | E |
| I swear if she hit reverse she'd fill that huge pouch pocket | E |
| - | |
| I sat up that cold night i guess till just after one | F |
| Trying to catch another glimpse of husband daughter or son | F |
| Now I've told you this is the nd and I've not mentioned the st | G |
| Because that's a whole different poem a whole different verse | H |
| - | |
| So to the platypus I'd seen I'm sorry little mate | I |
| But next time I see you I'll know it's pure fate | I |
