contain internal rhymes within their 14 lines, the exact rhyme scheme depends on the style of the

Common Sense

Clever and respectful,

To his mother's warnings he was never neglectful.

He believes in the power of God,

Because of that he is kind to the frog,

Who tells him about the Devil's disguise.

He does not believe Papa Bois' lies

Which was wise

Because this helps prevent his demise.

To increase the Devil's frustration,

He gave his goat a castration.

He burns the sugarcane field

and puts the goat into the Devil's meal.

The Devil loses his temper when Ti-Jean burns his house down,

Which wins Ti-Jean the crown.’
