Topiary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDDAADEAAE| Failing sometimes to understand | A |
| Why there are folk whose flesh should seem | B |
| Like carrion puffed with noisome steam | B |
| Fly blown to the eye that looks on it | C |
| Fly blown to the touch of a hand | A |
| Why there are men without any legs | D |
| Whizzing along on little trollies | D |
| With long long arms like apes' | D |
| Failing to see why God the Topiarist | A |
| Should train and carve and twist | A |
| Men's bodies into such fantastic shapes | D |
| Yes failing to see the point of it all I sometimes wish | E |
| That I were a fabulous thing in a fool's mind | A |
| Or at the ocean bottom in a world that is deaf and blind | A |
| Very remote and happy a great goggling fish | E |
