For Mayor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACDACD| O Abner Doble whose 'catarrhal name' | A |
| Budd of that ilk might envy 'tis a rough | B |
| Rude thing to say but it is plain enough | B |
| Your name is to be sneezed at its acclaim | A |
| Will 'fill the speaking trump of future fame' | A |
| With an impeded utterance a puff | B |
| Suggesting that a pinch or two of snuff | B |
| Would clear the tube and somewhat disinflame | A |
| Nay Abner Doble you'll not get from me | A |
| My voice and influence I'll cheer instead | C |
| Some other man for when my voice ascends a | D |
| Tall pinnacle of praise and at high C | A |
| Sustains a chosen name it shan't be said | C |
| My influence is naught but influenza | D |
