A Drunken Man's Praise Of Sobriety Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFEGHIHJACA

COME swish around my pretty punkA
And keep me dancing stillB
That I may stay a sober manC
Although I drink my fillB
-
Sobriety is a jewelD
That I do much adoreE
And therefore keep me dancingF
Though drunkards lie and snoreE
O mind your feet O mind your feetG
Keep dancing like a waveH
And under every dancerI
A dead man in his graveH
No ups and downs my prettyJ
A mermaid not a punkA
A drunkard is a dead manC
And all dead men are drunkA
