Hi all,
I'm trying to teach rhyme scheme to my seventh graders. Another English
teacher and I differ on how to label a rhyme scheme. Now I'm totally confused
and I don't know which way is correct. Would you start again with A on each
stanza or do you continue through the alpahabet for the entire poem? Can
anyone PLEASE tell me what the correct rhyme scheme is for the following poem?
It's driving me crazy! Thanks in advance!
Answering Machine Messasage
Hello, you've reached the Bloom house,
But we can’t take your call,
We’re either very busy,
Or we’re not home at all.
We’re probably out shopping,
Or maybe on a trip -----
A flying visit to Peru;
Perhaps we’ve taken ship
To some exotic port of call,
Like Fiji, London, Rome,
Or Hackensack, New Jersey.
That’s why there’s no one home.
We could be in the south of France,
Relaxing in the sun,
Or climbing up Mount Everest -----
I hear that’s sort of fun.
Or maybe in Australia,
Helping shepherds tend their sheep.
But we’ll be calling back,
So leave your number at the beep.
