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 |
