What is the rhyme scheme of this poem?Mr. Brown the Circus ClownMr. Brown, the circus clownputs his clothes on upside down.He wears his hat upon his toesand socks and shoes upon his nose. ABAB AABB My Penmanship is Pretty BadMy penmanship is pretty bad.My printing’s plainly awful.In truth, my writing looks so sadit ought to be unlawful. AABB ABAB My dog likes to dig, making holes in our lawn.He digs every morning beginning at dawn.He digs like a maniac all afternoon,and even at night by the light of the moon.I wish he would stop but he’sout of control,and works up a sweat digging hole after hole.He’s fevered and frenzied. He’s hot as can be.His temperature’s rising degree by degree.His workout from digging is clearly extreme.He’s sizzling. He’s scorching. He’s starting to steam.I wish I had gotten a fish or a frog.Instead I just have this hot diggity dog.— Kenn Nesbitt ABACDCEFE ABCABCABC AABBCCDDEEFF
