The Fathers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEFGHGH| Snug at the club two fathers sat | A |
| Gross goggle eyed and full of chat | A |
| One of them said My eldest lad | B |
| Writes cheery letters from Bagdad | B |
| But Arthur's getting all the fun | C |
| At Arras with his nine inch gun | C |
| - | |
| Yes wheezed the other that's the luck | D |
| My boy's quite broken hearted stuck | D |
| In England training all this year | E |
| Still if there's truth in what we hear | F |
| The Huns intend to ask for more | G |
| Before they bolt across the Rhine | H |
| I watched them toddle through the door | G |
| These impotent old friends of mine | H |
