Doctor Of Billiards Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBC DEFFGH| Of all among the fallen from on high | A |
| We count you last and leave you to regain | B |
| Your born dominion of a life made vain | B |
| By three spheres of insidious ivory | C |
| You dwindle to the lesser tragedy | C |
| Content you say We call but you remain | B |
| Nothing alive gone wrong could be so plain | B |
| Or quite so blasted with absurdity | C |
| - | |
| You click away the kingdom that is yours | D |
| And you click off your crown for cap and bells | E |
| You smile who are still master of the feast | F |
| And for your smile we credit you the least | F |
| But when your false unhallowed laugh occurs | G |
| We seem to think there may be something else | H |
