Monday Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCCB DDDEFFFE GGGBHHHB IIIJKKKJ LLLMNNNO

I often pause to contemplateA
The sadly barren mental stateA
Of persons whom it is my fateA
To meet on Monday morningB
They should be after Sunday's restC
Alert clear minded full of zestC
But everywhere they are oppressedC
Bad tempered dull and yawningB
-
But I I'm always strangely brightD
Primed with ideas and full of fightD
With brain alert and eye alightD
With rare exhilarationE
All due no doubt to my wise bentF
To do no thing I should repentF
And to a Sunday wisely spentF
In pious contemplationE
-
I do not wish to set myselfG
Upon some loft moral shelfG
And treat my brother man poor elfG
To haughty patronisingB
And yet I feel I have to sayH
That I regard the laggard wayH
That men approach their work this dayH
As utterly surprisingB
-
Oh I could write this gladsome mornI
With vigour of a man new bornI
Rare verses full of lilting scornI
About my fellow's failingsJ
Or I could write on politicsK
And heave a hundred verbal bricksK
Using the rhymster's thousand tricksK
In homilies and railingsJ
-
But I resist for being kindL
I know that human nature's blindL
And weak and frail I have no mindL
To call down envious cursesM
And tho' I tremble on the vergeN
I manfully resist the urgeN
And sing where I might shout and splurgeN
These rather halting versesO
