Alfred Moir Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS| Why was I not devoured by self contempt | A |
| And rotted down by indifference | B |
| And impotent revolt like Indignation Jones | C |
| Why with all of my errant steps | D |
| Did I miss the fate of Willard Fluke | E |
| And why though I stood at Burchard's bar | F |
| As a sort of decoy for the house to the boys | G |
| To buy the drinks did the curse of drink | H |
| Fall on me like rain that runs off | I |
| Leaving the soul of me dry and clean | J |
| And why did I never kill a man | K |
| Like Jack McGuire | L |
| But instead I mounted a little in life | M |
| And I owe it all to a book I read | N |
| But why did I go to Mason City | O |
| Where I chanced to see the book in a window | P |
| With its garish cover luring my eye | Q |
| And why did my soul respond to the book | R |
| As I read it over and over | S |
