A Busy Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC ABABDEFE GHGHIBIB| This crowded life of God's good giving | A |
| No man has relished more than I | B |
| I've been so goldarned busy living | A |
| I've never had the time to die | B |
| So busy fishing hunting roving | A |
| Up on my toes and fighting fit | C |
| So busy singing laughing loving | A |
| I've never had the time to quit | C |
| - | |
| I've never been one for thinking | A |
| I've always been the action guy | B |
| I've done my share of feasting drinking | A |
| And lots of wenching on the sly | B |
| What all the blasted cosmic show meant | D |
| I've never tried to understand | E |
| I've always lived just for the moment | F |
| And done the thing that came to hand | E |
| - | |
| And now I'll toddle to the garden | G |
| And light a good old Henry Clay | H |
| I'm ninety odd so Lord please pardon | G |
| My frequent lapses by the way | H |
| I'm getting tired the sunset lingers | I |
| The evening star serenes the sky | B |
| The damn cigar burns to my fingers | I |
| I guess I'll take time off to die | B |
