My Typewriter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEE FGFGHHII JKJLMNBB| I have a trim typewriter now | A |
| They tell me none is better | B |
| It makes a pleasing rhythmic row | C |
| And neat is every letter | B |
| I tick out stories by machine | D |
| Dig pars and gags and verses keen | D |
| And lathe them off in manner slick | E |
| It is so easy and it s quick | E |
| - | |
| And yet it falls short I m afraid | F |
| Of giving satisfaction | G |
| This making literature by aid | F |
| Of scientific traction | G |
| For often I can t fail to see | H |
| The dashed thing runs away with me | H |
| It bolts and do whate er I may | I |
| I cannot hold the runaway | I |
| - | |
| It is not fitted with a brake | J |
| And endless are my verses | K |
| Nor any yarn I start to make | J |
| Appropriately terse is | L |
| Tis plain that this machine made screed | M |
| Is fit but for machines to read | N |
| So Wanted as an iron censor | B |
| A good sound secondhand condenser | B |
