O'dowd Of The Jefferson Club Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE FFGGHIJJKK| A maddened horse comes down the street | A |
| With waving mane and flying feet | A |
| The crowd scatters in every direction | B |
| It looks like a fight at a city election | B |
| A big policeman waves his hands | C |
| And the air is full of vague commands | C |
| While across the street a retail grocer | D |
| Shrieks to his child as the horse draws closer | D |
| When suddenly out of the mad hubbub | E |
| Steps Jimmie O'Dowd of the Jefferson Club | E |
| - | |
| Every man there holds his breath | F |
| To stop the horse means sudden death | F |
| But quick as a flash | G |
| O'Dowd makes a dash | G |
| With all his might and the horse's mane | H |
| He brings the old plug to a halt again | I |
| Then every man there doffs his hat | J |
| And cries Well what do you think of that | J |
| Never since the days of Nero | K |
| Has there been a greater hero | K |
