Sporting Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE| The trouble with comparing a poet with a radio is that radios don t develop scar tissue The tubes burn out or with a transistor which most souls are the battery or diagram burns out replaceable or not replaceable but not like that punchdrunk fighter in the bar The poet | A |
| Takes too many messages The right to the ear that floored him in New Jersey The right to say that he stood six rounds with a champion | B |
| Then they sell beer or go on sporting commissions or if the scar tissue is too heavy demonstrate in a bar where the invisible champions might not have hit him Too many of them | C |
| The poet is a radio The poet is a liar The poet is a counterpunching radio | D |
| And those messages God would not damn them do not even know they are champions | E |
