A Dogs' View Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDF GHGHIJIJ KLKLMNM| I'm only just a common racing dog | A |
| Simple in habit and my diet's plain | B |
| I have never had a longing for the grog | C |
| That some men seem to need more vim to gain | B |
| And I have heard it said of such a one | D |
| Who in his swilling emulates the hogs | E |
| 'He's boozing day and night he's getting done | D |
| Poor man ' they say 'he's going to the dogs ' | F |
| - | |
| But now 'tis threatened that a dog should win | G |
| A newer culture and a swifter pace | H |
| By taking to the whisky and the gin | G |
| That he may wax more reckless in the race | H |
| And we who hitherto have been content | I |
| With just a lap of water and a rub | J |
| Will soon enough contract that human bent | I |
| Of knocking off and going to the pub | J |
| - | |
| And then who knows Some badly balanced pup | K |
| Weak willed and too intent on hectic joys | L |
| Will learn too soon the way to liquor up | K |
| And have a jolly evening with the boys | L |
| And we shall say of such a one in blame | M |
| 'It's quite all right to have one new and then | N |
| But he has overdone this drinkning game | M |
| Poor dog ' we'll say 'He's going to the men ' | - |
