Batterton Dobyns Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGHIJKLMNOEPQC RS| Did my widow flit about | A |
| From Mackinac to Los Angeles | B |
| Resting and bathing and sitting an hour | C |
| Or more at the table over soup and meats | D |
| And delicate sweets and coffee | E |
| I was cut down in my prime | F |
| From overwork and anxiety | E |
| But I thought all along whatever happens | G |
| I've kept my insurance up | H |
| And there's something in the bank | I |
| And a section of land in Manitoba | J |
| But just as I slipped I had a vision | K |
| In a last delirium | L |
| I saw myself lying nailed in a box | M |
| With a white lawn tie and a boutonni re | N |
| And my wife was sitting by a window | O |
| Some place afar overlooking the sea | E |
| She seemed so rested ruddy and fat | P |
| Although her hair was white | Q |
| And she smiled and said to a colored waiter | C |
| Another slice of roast beef George | R |
| Here's a nickel for your trouble | S |
