A Critic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DBDE FGFG HIHI JKJK| That from you neighbor to whose vacant lot | A |
| Each rhyming literary knacker scourges | B |
| His cart compelling Pegasus to trot | A |
| As folly fame or famine smartly urges | C |
| - | |
| Admonished by the stimulating goad | D |
| How gaily lo the spavined crow bait prances | B |
| Its cart before it eager to unload | D |
| The dead dog sentiments and swill tub fancies | E |
| - | |
| Gravely the sweating scavenger pulls out | F |
| The tail board of his curst imagination | G |
| Shoots all his rascal rubbish and no doubt | F |
| Thanks Fortune for so good a dumping station | G |
| - | |
| To improve your property the vile cascade | H |
| Your thrift invites to make a higher level | I |
| In vain with tons of garbage overlaid | H |
| Your baseless bog sinks slowly to the devil | I |
| - | |
| 'Rubbish may be shot here' familiar sign | J |
| I seem to see it in your every column | K |
| You have your wishes but if I had mine | J |
| 'Twould to your editor mean something solemn | K |
