Tit For Tat Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DDE AFDF AGHG AIBI| Have you been catching fish Tom Noddy | A |
| Have you snared a weeping hare | B |
| Have you whistled 'No Nunny' and gunned a poor bunny | C |
| Or blinded a bird of the air | B |
| - | |
| Have you trod like a murderer through the green woods | D |
| Through the dewy deep dingles and glooms | D |
| While every small creature screamed shrill to Dame Nature | E |
| 'He comes and he comes ' | - |
| - | |
| Wonder I very much do Tom Noddy | A |
| If ever when off you roam | F |
| An ogre from space will stoop a lean face | D |
| And lug you home | F |
| - | |
| Lug you home over his fence Tom Noddy | A |
| Of thorn sticks nine yards high | G |
| With your bent knees strung round his old iron gun | H |
| And your head a dan dangling by | G |
| - | |
| And hung you up stiff on a hook Tom Noddy | A |
| From a stone cold pantry shelf | I |
| Whence your eyes will glare in an empty stare | B |
| Till you are cooked yourself | I |
