The Headliner And The Breadliner Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBC DEDEFF| Moko the Educated Ape is here | A |
| The pet of vaudeville so the posters say | B |
| And every night the gaping people pay | B |
| To see him in his panoply appear | C |
| To see him pad his paunch with dainty cheer | C |
| Puff his perfecto swill champagne and sway | B |
| Just like a gentleman yet all in play | B |
| Then bow himself off stage with brutish leer | C |
| - | |
| And as to night with noble knowledge crammed | D |
| I 'mid this human compost take my place | E |
| I once a poet now so dead and damned | D |
| The woeful tears half freezing on my face | E |
| O God I cry let me but take his shape | F |
| Moko's the Blest the Educated Ape | F |
