Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFDGHIJAC| I stopped to pick up the bagel | A |
| rolling away in the wind | B |
| annoyed with myself | C |
| for having dropped it | D |
| as if it were a portent | E |
| Faster and faster it rolled | F |
| with me running after it | D |
| bent low gritting my teeth | G |

| head over heels one complete somersault | J |
