No, You Be A Lone Eagle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDCEFEGGHCICJBIB KJJLLLML| I find it very hard to be fair minded | A |
| About people who go around being air minded | A |
| I just can't see any fun | B |
| In soaring up up up into the sun | B |
| When the chances are still a fresh cool orchid to a paper geranium | C |
| That you'll unsoar down down down onto your to you invaluable | D |
| cranium | C |
| I know the constant refrain | E |
| About how safer up in God's trafficless heaven than in an automobile | F |
| or a train | E |
| But | G |
| My God have you ever taken a good look at a strut | G |
| Then that one about how you're in Boston before you can say antidis | H |
| establishmentarianism | C |
| So that preferring to take five hours by rail is a pernicious example of | I |
| antiquarianism | C |
| At least when I get on the Boston train I have a good chance of landing | J |
| in the South Station | B |
| And not in that part of the daily press which is reserved for victims of | I |
| aviation | B |
| Then despite the assurance that aeroplanes are terribly comfortable I | K |
| notice that when you are railroading or automobiling | J |
| You don't have to take a paper bag along just in case of a funny feeling | J |
| It seems to me that no kind of depravity | L |
| Brings such speedy retribution as ignoring the law of gravity | L |
| Therefore nobody could possibly indict me for perjury | L |
| When I swear that I wish the Wright brothers had gone in for silver | M |
| fox farming or tree surgery | L |
