Golf Pride Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC DEDEFGFG HIJIKCKC ALALCCCC| As a golfer I'm not one who cops the money | A |
| I shall always be a member of the dubs | B |
| There are times my style is positively funny | A |
| I am awkward in my handling of the clubs | B |
| I am not a skillful golfer nor a plucky | A |
| But this about myself I proudly say | C |
| When I win a hole by freaky stroke or lucky | A |
| I never claim I played the shot that way | C |
| - | |
| There are times despite my blundering behavior | D |
| When fortune seems to follow at my heels | E |
| Now and then I toil supremely in her favor | D |
| She lets me pull the rankest sort of steals | E |
| She'll give to me the friendliest assistance | F |
| I'll jump a ditch at times when I should not | G |
| I'll top the ball and get a lot of distance | F |
| But I don't claim that's how I played the shot | G |
| - | |
| I've hooked a ball when just that hook I needed | H |
| And wondered how I ever turned the trick | I |
| I've thanked my luck for what a friendly tree did | J |
| Although my fortune made my rival sick | I |
| Sometimes my shots are just as I had planned 'em | K |
| The sort of shots which usually I play | C |
| But when up to the cup I chance to land 'em | K |
| I never claim I played 'em just that way | C |
| - | |
| There's little in my game that will commend me | A |
| I'm not a shark who shoots the course in par | L |
| I need good fortune often to befriend me | A |
| I have my faults and know just what they are | L |
| I play golf in a desperate do or die way | C |
| And into traps and trouble oft I stray | C |
| But when by chance the breaks are coming my way | C |
| I do not claim I played the shots that way | C |
