An Appeal To End Appeals Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD CCCC ECE AFAFGGGHC| Sir I try to do my duty as a patriotic man | A |
| With sane views about the science of gastronomy | B |
| And I'd ask the promulgators of each food consuming plan | A |
| To consider man's interior economy | B |
| I shall not go into details But I merely wish to say | C |
| My observance hitherto has been meticulous | D |
| Of the many noble slogans but I fear the scheme today | C |
| Has at last begun to merge with the ridiculous | D |
| - | |
| Very nobly I responded to the urge to 'Eat More Fruit' | C |
| I bought it and consumed it with avidity | C |
| I was keen to serve my country and the diet seemd to suit | C |
| If we waive a tendency to slight acidity | C |
| Then the ringing slogan sounded thro' the contry 'Eat More Wheat ' | - |
| I assimilated faithfully that cereal | E |
| Then we were asked to eat more eggs to eat more oats more meat | C |
| While tissue waxed both moral and material | E |
| - | |
| And now sir to my horror 'Eat more butter' is the plan | A |
| But I ask you Can I hope to rise superior | F |
| There are symptoms And I fear the patriotic outer man | A |
| Is at issue so to speak with the interior | F |
| On I long to do my gastronomic duty yet I shrink | G |
| I shudder tho' I swear I am no sceptic | G |
| But butter Slabs of butter There are limits don't you think | G |
| Sir I remain | H |
| Yours faithfully | C |
| 'DYSPEPTIC ' | - |
