When a new sound is encountered in a line of a poem it is denoted with the letter "A" and next new sound will be "B" and follows the similar way. There are different rhyme scheme like "AABB", "ABAB", "ABCB".

The poem "My Cat" follows the rhyme scheme of AABB. Here the ending words of the line 1 and 2 of the poem will be having similar sounds.

My cat is nice.
