London Types: 'liza Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDBDBEFEFGG| 'Liza's old man's perhaps a little shady | A |
| 'Liza's old woman's prone to booze and cring | B |
| But 'Liza deems herself a perfect lady | A |
| And proves it in her feathers and her fringe | C |
| For 'Liza has a bloke her heart to cheer | D |
| With pearlies and a barrer and a jack | B |
| So all the vegetables of the year | D |
| Are duly represented on her back | B |
| Her boots are sacrifices to her hats | E |
| Which knock you speechless like a load of bricks | F |
| Her summer velvets dazzle Wanstead Flats | E |
| And cost at times a good eighteen and six | F |
| Withal outside the gay and giddy whirl | G |
| 'Liza's a stupid straight hard working girl | G |
