Schizophrenic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFHIHH HJHJKKKK LMLMKKKK| Each morning as I catch my bus | A |
| A fearing I'll be late | B |
| I think there are in all of us | A |
| Two folks quite separate | B |
| As one I greet the office staff | C |
| With grim official mien | D |
| The other's when I belly laugh | C |
| And Home Sweet Home's the scene | D |
| - | |
| I've half a hundred men to boss | E |
| And take my job to heart | F |
| You'll never find me at a loss | G |
| So well I play my part | F |
| My voice is hard my eye is cold | H |
| My mouth is grimly set | I |
| They all consider me I'm told | H |
| A bloody martinet | H |
| - | |
| But when I reach my home at night | H |
| I'm happy as a boy | J |
| My kiddies kiss me with delight | H |
| And dance a jig of joy | J |
| I slip into my oldest cloths | K |
| My lines of care uncrease | K |
| I mow the lawn unhook the hose | K |
| And glow with garden peace | K |
| - | |
| It's then I wonder which I am | L |
| the boss with hard boiled eye | M |
| Or just the gay don't care a damn | L |
| Go lucky garden guy | M |
| Am I the starchy front who rants | K |
| As round his weight he throws | K |
| or just old Pop with patchy pants | K |
| Who sings and sniffs a rose | K |
