What would the poem the cremation of sam mcgee be like if it did not rhym

Answer 1

The poem the Cremation of Sam Mcgee would not be a poem  if it did not rhyme.

Poetry requires rhyme. It is the art of rhyming that  makes any piece of  poetry valuable. Beyond this, without rhyme the listeners would be less interested in the story as one of the main assests of this creation is its use of rhyming structure to keep us hooked on the tale.
