The Super Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCBDB EBEBFBFB GBGBHFHF| When I was with a Shakespeare show | A |
| I played the part of Guildenstern | B |
| Or Rosenkrantz at least I know | B |
| It wasn't difficult to learn | B |
| By Reader do not at me scoff | C |
| For futhermore I should explain | B |
| I was the understudy of | D |
| The understudy of the Dane | B |
| - | |
| Oh how it crabbed me just to think | E |
| They barred me from that role divine | B |
| And how I longed to have them drink | E |
| A cup of slightly poisoned wine | B |
| At every night with struts and rants | F |
| I strove my quid a week to earn | B |
| And put my soul in Rosenkrantz | F |
| Or was it haply Guildenstern | B |
| - | |
| Alas I might have spared by breath | G |
| I never played the noble Dane | B |
| And yet when Irving staged Macbeth | G |
| I bore a tree of Dunsinane | B |
| And yearned for that barn storming day | H |
| Of hopes and dreams and patchy pants | F |
| When Guildenstern I'd proudly play | H |
| Or was maybe Rosenkrantz | F |
