The Kick Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DEFGGF AA CCA HH IIJ KKLDDL MMNCC| First I tried a Dry Martini | A |
| But found not one teeny weeny | A |
| Semblance of a kick in any kind of this | B |
| Then I sampled a Manhattan | C |
| But 'twas much the same with that 'un | C |
| And as impotent I found an Angel's Kiss | B |
| - | |
| So I drank the menu thro' | D |
| Side car Bronx and Gin and Two | E |
| Such innocuous concoctions left me sad | F |
| And I yearned with eager yearning | G |
| For a cocktail sudden burning | G |
| That might give a man a jolt and make him glad | F |
| - | |
| Then a fellow somewhat seedy | A |
| Down at heel and seeming needy | A |
| said 'If it's a kick you're seeking come with me ' | - |
| So we went into a garden | C |
| That to me seemed partly Arden | C |
| Partly Eden and we sat beneath a tree | A |
| - | |
| Here my friend produced a bottle | H |
| Drew the stopper from its throttle | H |
| And pouring out a nip said 'Drink this quick ' | - |
| No least hesitation followed | I |
| I threw back my head and swallowed | I |
| Oh boy Oh res and furies What a kick | J |
| - | |
| Green lightnings and blue blazes | K |
| Fierce stars in fiery hazes | K |
| Pink elephants that flapped about the sky | L |
| When I woke some five hours later | D |
| Feeling queer at the equator | D |
| 'Great Scott How do you make that stuff ' said I | L |
| - | |
| 'First of all ' he proudly stated | M |
| 'Take a pint of methylated | M |
| Stir in varnish an' some 'air oil just a drop | N |
| Then if pep should still be lackin' | C |
| Add turps an' a tin of blackin' | C |
| Me own invention called the Fitzcray Flop ' | - |
