Indignation Jones Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJEKLMNOEPQN RSTU| You would not believe would you | A |
| That I came from good Welsh stock | B |
| That I was purer blooded than the white trash here | C |
| And of more direct lineage than the | D |
| New Englanders And Virginians of Spoon River | E |
| You would not believe that I had been to school | F |
| And read some books | G |
| You saw me only as a run down man | H |
| With matted hair and beard | I |
| And ragged clothes | J |
| Sometimes a man's life turns into a cancer | E |
| From being bruised and continually bruised | K |
| And swells into a purplish mass | L |
| Like growths on stalks of corn | M |
| Here was I a carpenter mired in a bog of life | N |
| Into which I walked thinking it was a meadow | O |
| With a slattern for a wife and poor Minerva my daughter | E |
| Whom you tormented and drove to death | P |
| So I crept crept like a snail through the days | Q |
| Of my life | N |
| No more you hear my footsteps in the morning | R |
| Resounding on the hollow sidewalk | S |
| Going to the grocery store for a little corn meal | T |
| And a nickel's worth of bacon | U |
