Ida Chicken Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHGIJKHLMNOC| After I had attended lectures | A |
| At our Chautauqua and studied French | B |
| For twenty years committing the grammar | C |
| Almost by heart | D |
| I thought I'd take a trip to Paris | E |
| To give my culture a final polish | F |
| So I went to Peoria for a passport | G |
| Thomas Rhodes was on the train that morning | H |
| And there the clerk of the district Court | G |
| Made me swear to support and defend | I |
| The constitution yes even me | J |
| Who couldn't defend or support it at all | K |
| And what do you think That very morning | H |
| The Federal Judge in the very next room | L |
| To the room where I took the oath | M |
| Decided the constitution | N |
| Exempted Rhodes from paying taxes | O |
| For the water works of Spoon River | C |
