Atrocities Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBB CCCC DDEEYou told me in your drunken boasting mood | A |
How once you butchered prisoners That was good | B |
I'm sure you felt no pity while they stood | B |
Patient and cowed and scared as prisoners should | B |
- | |
How did you do them in Come don't be shy | C |
You know I love to hear how Germans die | C |
Downstairs in dug outs 'Camerad ' they cry | C |
Then squeal like stoats when bombs begin to fly | C |
- | |
And you I know your record You went sick | D |
When orders looked unwholesome then with trick | D |
And lie you wangled home And here you are | E |
Still talking big and boozing in a bar | E |
