The Dog Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEDFEF| Grotesque we said the moment we espied him | A |
| For there he stood supreme in his conceit | B |
| With short ears close together and queer feet | B |
| Planted irregularly first we tried him | A |
| With jokes but they were lost we then defied him | A |
| With bantering questions and loose criticism | C |
| He did not like I'm sure our catechism | C |
| But whisked and snuffed a little as we eyed him | A |
| - | |
| Then flung we balls and out and clear away | D |
| Up the white slope across the crusted snow | E |
| To where a broken fence stands in the way | D |
| Against the sky line a mere row of pegs | F |
| Quicker than thought we saw him flash and go | E |
| A straight mad scuttling of four crooked legs | F |
