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 poetA
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 championB
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 themC
The poet is a radio The poet is a liar The poet is a counterpunching radioD
And those messages God would not damn them do not even know they are championsE
