Dr. Siegfried Iseman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDECFEGHIJKELMANO| I said when they handed me my diploma | A |
| I said to myself I will be good | B |
| And wise and brave and helpful to others | C |
| I said I will carry the Christian creed | D |
| Into the practice of medicine | E |
| Somehow the world and the other doctors | C |
| Know what's in your heart as soon as you make | F |
| This high souled resolution | E |
| And the way of it is they starve you out | G |
| And no one comes to you but the poor | H |
| And you find too late that being a doctor | I |
| Is just a way of making a living | J |
| And when you are poor and have to carry | K |
| The Christian creed and wife and children | E |
| All on your back it is too much | L |
| That's why I made the Elixir of Youth | M |
| Which landed me in the jail at Peoria | A |
| Branded a swindler and a crook | N |
| By the upright Federal Judge | O |
