Isa Nutter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGEHIEHJKALBMNO| Doc Meyers said I had satyriasis | A |
| And Doc Hill called it leuc mia | B |
| But I know what brought me here | C |
| I was sixty four but strong as a man | D |
| Of thirty five or forty | E |
| And it wasn't writing a letter a day | F |
| And it wasn't late hours seven nights a week | G |
| And it wasn't the strain of thinking of Minnie | E |
| And it wasn't fear or a jealous dread | H |
| Or the endless task of trying to fathom | I |
| Her wonderful mind or sympathy | E |
| For the wretched life she led | H |
| With her first and second husband | J |
| It was none of these that laid me low | K |
| But the clamor of daughters and threats of sons | A |
| And the sneers and curses of all my kin | L |
| Right up to the day I sneaked to Peoria | B |
| And married Minnie in spite of them | M |
| And why do you wonder my will was made | N |
| For the best and purest of women | O |
