The poem doesn’t follow a regular rhyme scheme. But, the poet has used the perfect end rhymes at the lines four and five.
Lolling obscenely from mildewed crates,
Hung down long yellow evil necks, like tropical snakes.
The half rhymes can be found at the lines nine and ten.
Leaf-mold, manure, lime,
piled against slippery planks.
Nothing would give up life:
