Tennessee Claflin Shope Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMLGNO| I was the laughing stock of the village | A |
| Chiefly of the people of good sense as they call themselves | B |
| Also of the learned like Rev Peet who read Greek | C |
| The same as English | D |
| For instead of talking free trade | E |
| Or preaching some form of baptism | F |
| Instead of believing in the efficacy | G |
| Of walking cracks picking up pins the right way | H |
| Seeing the new moon over the right shoulder | I |
| Or curing rheumatism with blue glass | J |
| I asserted the sovereignty of my own soul | K |
| Before Mary Baker G Eddy even got started | L |
| With what she called science | M |
| I had mastered the Bhagavad Gita | L |
| And cured my soul before Mary | G |
| Began to cure bodies with souls | N |
| Peace to all worlds | O |
