Answer:
The answer is indeed AABCCB.
Explanation:
To determine the rhyme scheme of a poem, we must attribute a letter to each different final sound that appears in the last word of each line. In this case, the words in bold are the ones we must consider:
High diddle diddle,
The Cat and the Fiddle,
The Cow jumped over the moon.
The little Dog laughed
To see such craft,
And the Dish ran away with the Spoon.
We should always attribute the letter A to the first final sound. Every different sound that follows then should be attributed the next letter of the alphabet. Thus, "diddle" is A. Since "fiddle" has the same final sound as "diddle", we still have A. Next, we have "moon", a different final sound, receiving thus letter B. So far we have AAB.
Next, we have "laughed", which is different from "moon", being attributed the letter C. In the following line there is "craft". Even though spelled in a very different manner, "craft" does rhyme with "laughed", being C as well. Finally, we have the last word "spoon", that has the same final sound as "moon". Since "moon" is B, "spoon" is also B. Therefore, we have AABCCB.
Note: Check out the phonetic transcriptions of "laughed" and "craft" and notice how they sound the same:
laughed - læft
craft - kræft
