A Crocodile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCD EFEFEFGG| Nay Peter Robertson 'tis not for you | A |
| To blubber o'er Max Taubles for he's dead | B |
| By Heaven my hearty if you only knew | A |
| How better is a grave worm in the head | B |
| Than brains like yours how far more decent too | A |
| A tomb in far Corea than a bed | B |
| Where Peter lies with Peter you would covet | C |
| His happier state and dying learn to love it | D |
| - | |
| In the recesses of the silent tomb | E |
| No Maunderings of yours disturb the peace | F |
| Your mental bag pipe droning like the gloom | E |
| Of Hades audible perforce must cease | F |
| From troubling further and that crack o' doom | E |
| Your mouth shaped like a long bow shall release | F |
| In vain such shafts of wit as it can utter | G |
| The ear of death can't even hear them flutter | G |
