On The Road Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Roar of the rushing train fearfully rocking | A |
| Impatient people jammed in line for food | B |
| The rasping noise of cars together knocking | A |
| And worried waiters some in ugly mood | B |
| Crowding into the choking pantry hole | C |
| To call out dishes for each angry glutton | D |
| Exasperated grown beyond control | C |
| From waiting for his soup or fish or mutton | D |
| At last the station's reached the engine stops | E |
| For bags and wraps the red caps circle round | F |
| From off the step the passenger lightly hops | E |
| And seeks his cab or tram car homeward bound | F |
| The waiters pass out weary listless glum | G |
| To spend their tips on harlots cards and rum | G |
