Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHFIJGKAL| I was sick but more than that I was mad | A |
| At the crooked police and the crooked game of life | B |
| So I wrote to the Chief of Police at Peoria | C |
| I am here in my girlhood home in Spoon River | D |
| Gradually wasting away | E |
| But come and take me I killed the son | F |

| That in spite of all the money he had | A |
| I'd see my lover that night | L |
