Business Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGHIIJGKKAA LL MMM| Two villains of the highest rank | A |
| Set out one night to rob a bank | A |
| They found the building looked it o'er | B |
| Each window noted tried each door | C |
| Scanned carefully the lidded hole | D |
| For minstrels to cascade the coal | D |
| In short examined five and twenty | E |
| Good paths from poverty to plenty | E |
| But all were sealed they saw full soon | F |
| Against the minions of the moon | F |
| 'Enough ' said one 'I'm satisfied ' | G |
| The other smiling fair and wide | H |
| Said 'I'm as highly pleased as you | I |
| No burglar ever can get through | I |
| Fate surely prospers our design | J |
| The booty all is yours and mine ' | G |
| So full of hope the following day | K |
| To the exchange they took their way | K |
| And bought with manner free and frank | A |
| Some stock of that devoted bank | A |
| And they became inside the year | L |
| One President and one Cashier | L |
| - | |
| Their crime I can no further trace | M |
| The means of safety to embrace | M |
| I overdrew and left the place | M |
