Dream Barker Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHBI JKLMJ NOA PQQ| We met for supper in your flat bottomed boat | A |
| I got there first in a white dress I remember | B |
| Wondering if you'd come Then you shot over the bank | C |
| A Virgilian Nigger Jim and poled us off | D |
| To a little sea food barker's cave you knew | E |
| - | |
| What'll you have you said Eels hung down | F |
| Bamboozled claws hung up from the crackling weeds | G |
| The light was all behind us To one side | H |
| In a dish of ice was a shell shaped like a sand dollar | B |
| But worked with Byzantine blue and gold What's that | I |
| - | |
| Well I've never seen it before you said | J |
| And I don't know how it tastes | K |
| Oh well said I if it's bad | L |
| I'm not too hungry are you We'd have the shell | M |
| I know just how you feel you said | J |
| - | |
| And asked for it we held out our hands | N |
| Six Dollars barked the barker For This Beauty | O |
| We fell down laughing in your flat bottomed boat | A |
| - | |
| And then I woke up in a white dress | P |
| Dry as a bone on dry land Jim | Q |
| Bone dry old in a dry land Jim my Jim | Q |
