Michael, I just looked up Rhyme Royal or Rime Royale on Wikipedia and this is what I found: Form. The rhyme royal stanza consists of seven lines, usually in iambic pentameter. The rhyme scheme is ABABBCC. In practice, the stanza can be constructed either as a tercet and two couplets (ABA BB CC) or a quatrain and a tercet (ABAB BCC) . So, what you have here is NOT Rime Royale, but it is still very good.

I love stories about animals and this one held my attention from beginning to end! Nice rhyming pattern, but are you sure this is Rime Royal? It's very similar to Ballad form, which I use a lot. Anyway, I enjoyed reading this very much.
