Chapter Seven: A Quatrain to End All Quatrains!


A quatrain is a poem consisting of four lines, or four lines of a poem that can be considered a unit. The quatrain in chapter seven occurs when a group of optometrists called the Four-eyed Bastards sing for Billy Pilgrim's father-in-law. They sing the following:

"Me and Mike, ve vork in mine.
Holy shit, ve have good time.
Vunce a veek ve get our pay.
Holy shit, no vork next day."
