A Cattleman's Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EFGG HHII JJKK LLMM

Now O Lord please lend thine earA
The prayer of the Cattleman to hearA
No doubt many prayers to thee seem strangeB
But won't you bless this cattle rangeB
-
Bless the round up year by yearC
And don't forget the growing steerC
Water the land with brooks and rillsD
For my cattle that roam a thousand hillsD
-
Now O Lord won't you be goodE
And give our livestock plenty of foodF
And to avert a winter's woeG
Give Italian skies and little snowG
-
Prairie fires won't you please stopH
Let thunder roll and water dropH
It frightens me to see the smokeI
Unless it's stopped I'll go dead brokeI
-
As you O Lord our herds beholdJ
Which represents a sack of goldJ
I think at least five cents per poundK
Should be the price of beef year roundK
-
One more thing and then I'm throughL
Instead of one calf give my cows twoL
I may pray different than some others but thenM
I've had my say and now amenM
