The Epicure Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD BHBHBD DI've sipped a rich man's sparkling wine | A |
His silverware I've handled | B |
I've placed these battered legs of mine | A |
'Neath tables gayly candled | B |
I dine on rare and costly fare | C |
Whene'er good fortune lets me | D |
But there's no meal that can compare | C |
With those the missus gets me | D |
- | |
I've had your steaks three inches thick | E |
With all your Sam Ward trimming | F |
I've had the breast of milk fed chick | E |
In luscious gravy swimming | F |
To dine in swell cafe or club | G |
But irritates and frets me | D |
Give me the plain and wholesome grub | G |
The grub the missus gets me | D |
- | |
Two kiddies smiling at the board | B |
The cook right at the table | H |
The four of us a hungry horde | B |
To beat that none is able | H |
A big meat pie with flaky crust | B |
'Tis then that joy besets me | D |
Oh I could eat until I 'bust ' | - |
Those meals the missus gets me | D |
