Craqueodoom Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE DFDFGHGH IJIJK KG| The Crankadox leaned o'er the edge of the moon | A |
| And wistfully gazed on the sea | B |
| Where the Gryxabodill madly whistled a tune | A |
| To the air of 'Ti fol de ding dee ' | C |
| The quavering shriek of the Fly up the creek | D |
| Was fitfully wafted afar | E |
| To the Queen of the Wunks as she powdered her cheek | D |
| With the pulverized rays of a star | E |
| - | |
| The Gool closed his ear on the voice of the Grig | D |
| And his heart it grew heavy as lead | F |
| As he marked the Baldekin adjusting his wing | D |
| On the opposite side of his head | F |
| And the air it grew chill as the Gryxabodill | G |
| Raised his dank dripping fins to the skies | H |
| And plead with the Plunk for the use of her bill | G |
| To pick the tears out of his eyes | H |
| - | |
| The ghost of the Zhack flitted by in a trance | I |
| And the Squidjum hid under a tub | J |
| As he heard the loud hooves of the Hooken advance | I |
| With a rub a dub dub a dub dub | J |
| And the Crankadox cried as he lay down and died | K |
| 'My fate there is none to bewail ' | - |
| While the Queen of the Wunks drifted over the tide | K |
| With a long piece of crape to her tail | G |
