When The Lid Was On Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDECEFGDGHBDB| They were seated there in silence | A |
| Each one busy with a frown | B |
| It was midnight in the city | C |
| And the lid was on the town | B |
| They had all been playing poker | D |
| 'Mid the rattle of the chink | E |
| When a gloom fell o'er the party | C |
| For they couldn't buy a drink | E |
| But a little fellow whispered | F |
| As he held a poker hand | G |
| Can't we get as drunk on water | D |
| As we can upon the land | G |
| Then we kicked the little rascal | H |
| And we spoke without a frown | B |
| And we anchored safe in harbor | D |
| When the lid was on the town | B |
