Arboriculture Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCBDDEEBFFGGAABH I| You may say they won't grow and say they'll decay | A |
| Say it again till you're sick of the say | A |
| Get up on your ear blow your blaring bazoo | A |
| And hire a hall to proclaim it and you | B |
| May stand on a stump with a lifted hand | C |
| As a pine may stand or a redwood stand | C |
| And stick to your story and cheek it through | B |
| But I point with pride to the far divide | D |
| Where the Snake from its groves is seen to glide | D |
| To Mariposa's arboreal suit | E |
| And the shaggy shoulders of Shasta Butte | E |
| And the feathered firs of Siskiyou | B |
| And I swear as I sit on my marvelous hair | F |
| I roll my marvelous eyes and swear | F |
| And sneer and ask where would your forests be | G |
| To day if it hadn't been for me | G |
| Then I rise tip toe with a brow of brass | A |
| Like a bully boy with an eye of glass | A |
| I look at my gum sprouts red and blue | B |
| And I say it loud and I say it low | H |
| 'They know their man and you bet they'll grow ' | I |
