Sleeping With Boa Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF CDGCGG HIHIJJ KKLMMN NOCBDB

I show her how to put her arms around meA
but she s much too smallB
What s worse she doesn t understandC
AndD
although she lies beside me stickingE
out her tongue it s herself she licksF
-
-
She likes my stroking handC
AndD
even lets me kissG
But at my demandC
Now do it to me like thisG
she backs off with a hissG
-
-
What s in her little mindH
Jumping off the bedI
she shows me her behindH
but curls up on the rug insteadI
I beg her to return At first she didJ
then went and hidJ
-
-
under the covers She s playing with my feetK
Oh Boa come back Be sweetK
Lie against me here where I m nice and warmL
Settle down Don t claw don t biteM
Stay with me tonightM
Seeming to consent she gives a little whineN
-
-
Her deep deep pupils meet mineN
with a look that holds a floodO
But not my brandC
Not at allB
AndD
what s worse she s much too smallB
