I'm told by my snail that he will not get dressed
He say that he's not feeling well
It's not that he won't wear a coat or a vest,
he wont even put on his shell.
He's still in his bed as he lets out a yawn,
I tell him i think it's okay
to wait till tomorrow to put his shell on
since he's feeling sluggish today.

To determine the rhyming pattern in a poem, you need to look at the end sounds of each line. In the given poem, we can assign a unique letter to each line that has a different end sound. Let's label the lines with lowercase letters:
a: I'm told by my snail that he will not get dressed
b: He say that he's not feeling well
c: It's not that he won't wear a coat or a vest,
b: He wont even put on his shell.
d: He's still in his bed as he lets out a yawn,
c: I tell him i think it's okay
d: to wait till tomorrow to put his shell on
a: since he's feeling sluggish today.
By analyzing the labeled poem, we can see that the rhyming pattern is ABABCDCD, where the lines with the same lowercase letters rhyme with each other.
