He who would thrive must rise at five

He is a thriftless loon who will lie till eleven


Is it only me but the rhyme scheme seems odd. Internal rhymes line 1 & 2
but on line three one would expect it to finish with "until noon". If it is a kiddies' rhyme that is what I would expect.

Or is the wrongciter (sic) in me just being too neat and tidy?
