Wendell P. Bloyd Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLIMNBOPQR SF| They first charged me with disorderly conduct | A |
| There being no statute on blasphemy | B |
| Later they locked me up as insane | C |
| Where I was beaten to death by a Catholic guard | D |
| My offense was this | E |
| I said God lied to Adam and destined him | F |
| To lead the life of a fool | G |
| Ignorant that there is evil in the world as well as good | H |
| And when Adam outwitted God by eating the apple | I |
| And saw through the lie | J |
| God drove him out of Eden to keep him from taking | K |
| The fruit of immortal life | L |
| For Christ's sake you sensible people | I |
| Here's what God Himself says about it in the book of Genesis | M |
| And the Lord God said behold the man | N |
| Is become as one of us a little envy you see | B |
| To know good and evil The all is good lie exposed | O |
| And now lest he put forth his hand and take | P |
| Also of the tree of life and eat and live forever | Q |
| Therefore the Lord God sent Him forth from the garden of Eden The | R |
| reason I believe God crucified His Own Son | S |
| To get out of the wretched tangle is because it sounds just like Him | F |
