The Athlete Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKELMNHOP| A man walked back and forth in his torn slippers | A |
| In the small room | B |
| He inhabited | C |
| He thought about the events | D |
| About which he was informed by the evening paper | E |
| And sadly yawned the way only that man yawns | F |
| Who has read much that is strange | G |
| And the thought suddenly overcame him | H |
| Like a timid person who gets gooseflesh | I |
| And the way the person who stuffs himself | J |
| Starts to burp | K |
| Like a mother in labor | E |
| The great yawn might perhaps be a sign | L |
| A nod from fate | M |
| To lie down to rest | N |
| And the thought would not leave him | H |
| And then he began to undress | O |
| When he was stark naked he lifted something | P |
