Jumbo Jet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC A AA DDAA EEI saw a little elephant standing in my garden | A |
I said 'You don't belong in here' he said 'I beg you pardon ' | B |
I said 'This place is England what are you doing here ' | B |
He said 'Ah then I must be lost' and then 'Oh dear oh dear' | C |
- | |
'I should be back in Africa on Saranghetti's Plain' | A |
'Pray where is the nearest station where I can catch a train ' | - |
He caught the bus to Finchley and then to Mincing lane | A |
And over the Embankment where he got lost again | A |
- | |
The police they put him in a cell but it was far too small | D |
So they tied him to a lampost and he slept against the wall | D |
But as the policemen lay sleeping by the twinkling light of dawn | A |
The lampost and the wall were there but the elephant was gone | A |
- | |
So if you see an elephant in a Jumbo Jet | E |
You can be sure that Africa's the place he's trying to get | E |
