The Blue Flannel Shirt Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE AGFGFECE HIIICIII| I am eager once more to feel easy | A |
| I'm weary of thinking of dress | B |
| I'm heartily sick of stiff collars | C |
| And trousers the tailor must press | B |
| I'm eagerly waiting the glad days | D |
| When fashion will cease to assert | E |
| What I must put on every morning | F |
| The days of the blue flannel shirt | E |
| - | |
| I want to get out in the country | A |
| And rest by the side of the lake | G |
| To go a few days without shaving | F |
| And give grim old custom the shake | G |
| A week's growth of whiskers I'm thinking | F |
| At present my chin wouldn't hurt | E |
| And I'm yearning to don those old trousers | C |
| And loaf in that blue flannel shirt | E |
| - | |
| You can brag all you like of your fashions | H |
| The style of your cutaway coat | I |
| You can boast of your tailor made raiment | I |
| And the collar that strangles your throat | I |
| But give me the old pair of trousers | C |
| That seem to improve with the dirt | I |
| And let me get back to the comfort | I |
| That's born of a blue flannel shirt | I |
