Question

mr. brown, the circus clown
puts his clothes on upside down.
he wears his hat upon his toes
and socks and shoes upon his nose.
rhyme scheme:
abab
aabb
abcd

Explanation:

First, label each line's rhyme sound:

1. Line 1 ("Mr. Brown, the circus clown") ends with "clown" → assign sound A.
2. Line 2 ("puts his clothes on upside down.") ends with "down" → matches "clown", so sound A.
3. Line 3 ("He wears his hat upon his toes") ends with "toes" → new sound, assign B.
4. Line 4 ("and socks and shoes upon his nose.") ends with "nose" → matches "toes", so sound B.

This pattern (A, A, B, B) is the AABB rhyme scheme.

Answer:

AABB
