Poetry HELP!!!?

Can any one tell me the rhyme scheme and meter, and whether it is iambic, trochaic, dactylic, or anapestic? the poem is Merry-Go-Round by Langston Hughes.

Where is the jim Crow Section
On this merry-go-round,
Mister, cause I want to ride?
Down South where I come from
White and colored
Can't sit side by side.
Down South on the train
There's a Jim Crow car.
On the bus we're put in the back--
But there ain't no back
To a Merry-go-Round!
Where's the horse
For a kid that's black?
