Preacher, Don't Send Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE DGHGIJKJ LAMANMOM PQRQSTUT

Preacher don't send meA
when I dieB
to some big ghettoC
in the skyB
where rats eat catsD
of the leopard typeE
and Sunday brunchF
is grits and tripeE
-
I've known those ratsD
I've seen them killG
and grits I've hadH
would make a hillG
or maybe a mountainI
so what I needJ
from you on SundayK
is a different creedJ
-
Preacher please don'tL
promise meA
streets of goldM
and milk for freeA
I stopped all milkN
at four years oldM
and once I'm deadO
I won't need goldM
-
I'd call a placeP
pure paradiseQ
where families are loyalR
and strangers are niceQ
where the music is jazzS
and the season is fallT
Promise me thatU
or nothing at allT
