Explanation
The poem follows an ABAB rhyme scheme in each stanza. For example, in the first stanza: 'street' rhymes with 'feet' and 'head' rhymes with 'polite' (though this is a slant rhyme). This regular rhyme pattern creates a musical, sing-song quality that enhances the humorous and playful nature of the poem.
