Cliff Klingenhagen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA CDECDE| Cliff Klingenhagen had me in to dine | A |
| With him one day and after soup and meat | B |
| And all the other things there were to eat | B |
| Cliff took two glasses and filled one with wine | A |
| And one with wormwood Then without a sign | A |
| For me to choose at all he took the draught | C |
| Of bitterness himself and lightly quaffed | C |
| It off and said the other one was mine | A |
| - | |
| And when I asked him what the deuce he meant | C |
| By doing that he only looked at me | D |
| And grinned and said it was a way of his | E |
| And though I know the fellow I have spent | C |
| Long time a wondering when I shall be | D |
| As happy as Cliff Klingenhagen is | E |
