Righteous Anger Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| THE lanky hank of a she in the inn over there | A |
| Nearly killed me for asking the loan of a glass of beer | B |
| May the devil grip the whey faced slut by the hair | A |
| And beat bad manners out of her skin for a year | B |
| - | |
| That parboiled imp with the hardest jaw you will see | C |
| On virtue s path and a voice that would rasp the dead | D |
| Came roaring and raging the minute she looked on me | C |
| And threw me out of the house on the back of my head | D |
| - | |
| If I asked her master he d give me a cask a day | E |
| But she with the beer at hand not a gill would arrange | F |
| May she marry a ghost and bear him a kitten and may | E |
| The High King of Glory permit her to get the mange | F |
