Pillbox Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHII| Just see what s happening Worley Worley rose | A |
| And round the angled doorway thrust his nose | A |
| And serjeant Hyde went too to snuff the air | B |
| Then war brought down his fist and missed the pair | B |
| Yet Hyde was hit by a splinter the blood came | C |
| And out sprang terrors that he d striven to tame | C |
| A good man Hyde for weeks I'm blown to bits | D |
| He screams he screams Come Bluffer where s your wits | D |
| Says Worley Bluffer you ve a blighty man | E |
| All in the pillbox urged him here began | E |
| His freedom Think of Eastbourne and your dad | F |
| The poor man lay at length and brief and mad | F |
| Flung out his cry of doom soon ebbed and dumb | G |
| He yielded Worley with a tot of rum | G |
| And shouting in his face could not restore him | H |
| The ship of Charon over channel bore him | H |
| All marvelled even on that most deadly day | I |
| To see this soul so spirited away | I |
