A humorous verse with an AABB rhyme scheme typically features a playful tone and a structure where the first two lines rhyme with each other, and the next two lines also rhyme with each other.
Here’s an example:
The Dog Who Loved to Dance
There once was a dog who loved to prance,
He’d wiggle and jiggle, given the chance.
He’d spin on his paws, with moves so grand,
Making the humans clap and stand!
In this example:
- The first two lines rhyme (“prance” and “chance”).
- The second two lines rhyme (“grand” and “stand”).
The humor comes from imagining a dog dancing in such a human way, and the rhyme scheme is AABB.
