The Bank Roll Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EDFGFGCDCDED| HOW dear to my heart is the bank roll departed | A |
| The five spots and tens in the strong rubber band | B |
| The yellow boys too that were mine when I started | A |
| And oft I caressed with a fatherly hand | B |
| The wide bulging bank roll that set my eyes popping | C |
| The bank roll I had when we struck the hotel | D |
| The bank roll she touched when she journeyed out shopping | C |
| The bank roll now vanished that served us so well | D |

| The wide bulging bank roll the rubber bound bank roll | E |
| The bank roll now vanished that served us so well | D |
| How sweet from the green crinkled wad't was to peel one | F |
| And flash it about for the strangers to see | G |
| How splendid to know that the wad was a real one | F |
| And all it was made of belonged unto me | G |
| Now the tear of regret in my sad eyes is welling | C |
| Once again I am making the poverty yell | D |
| And I sigh as I sit in my poor humble dwelling | C |
| For the bank roll now vanished that served us so well | D |
| The wide bulging bank roll the Michigan bank roll | E |
| The rubber bound bank roll that served us so well | D |
