What is the rhyme scheme? Just of the first stanza?

When I want some sweets for eating,

I’ll be at your door repeating

that fantastic, famous greeting…

I’ll be shouting, “Trick or treat!”

I’ll be dressed up like a mummy,

out in search of something yummy,

like a chocolate bar or gummi.

I’ll be marching door-to-door.

What type of poem is this?

If you want to make a muffin,

first you need a jar of juice,

and a pickle, and a peanut,

and a marble, and a moose.

Then you add a dozen doorknobs,

and a boy with a balloon,

plus the sound of summer thunder

from a Thursday afternoon.

Then you mix them in whatever

bowl or bucket you can find.

Oh, wait. That’s not the recipe.

I’m sorry. Nevermind.
