Rhyme Scheme: ABCA DEAF AGHI AHAJ| The eager note on my door said quot Call me quot | A |
| call when you get in quot so I quickly threw | B |
| a few tangerines into my overnight bag | C |
| straightened my eyelids and shoulders and | A |
| - | |
| headed straight for the door It was autumn | D |
| by the time I got around the corner oh all | E |
| unwilling to be either pertinent or bemused but | A |
| the leaves were brighter than grass on the sidewalk | F |
| - | |
| Funny I thought that the lights are on this late | A |
| and the hall door open still up at this hour a | G |
| champion jai alai player like himself Oh fie | H |
| for shame What a host so zealous And he was | I |
| - | |
| there in the hall flat on a sheet of blood that | A |
| ran down the stairs I did appreciate it There are few | H |
| hosts who so thoroughly prepare to greet a guest | A |
| only casually invited and that several months ago | J |
