Professor Newcomer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMCNO| Everyone laughed at Col Prichard | A |
| For buying an engine so powerful | B |
| That it wrecked itself and wrecked the grinder | C |
| He ran it with | D |
| But here is a joke of cosmic size | E |
| The urge of nature that made a man | F |
| Evolve from his brain a spiritual life | G |
| Oh miracle of the world | H |
| The very same brain with which the ape and wolf | I |
| Get food and shelter and procreate themselves | J |
| Nature has made man do this | K |
| In a world where she gives him nothing to do | L |
| After all though the strength of his soul goes round | M |
| In a futile waste of power | C |
| To gear itself to the mills of the gods | N |
| But get food and shelter and procreate himself | O |
