The Paths Of Rashness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHHII| Up to the sky the birdman flew | A |
| And looped some loops that were bold and new | A |
| The people marvelled at nerve so great | B |
| And gasped or cheered as he tempted fate | B |
| More daring each day than the day before | C |
| Till the birdman fell and arose no more | C |
| - | |
| The bandit bragged of his daylight crimes | D |
| And said I'm the wonder of modern times | D |
| Bolder and bolder his thefts became | E |
| And the people shook when they heard his name | E |
| He boasted I'm one that they'll never get | F |
| But he jollied himself into Joliet | F |
| - | |
| Well son I suppose you would be admired | G |
| For the valorous habit that you've acquired | G |
| Of rushing at each little girl you meet | H |
| And hugging her tight in the public street | H |
| But the day will come I have not a doubt | I |
| When you'll stagger home with an eye scratched out | I |
