Messy RoomWhosever room this is should be ashamed!
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater's been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the closet,
His vest has been left in the hall.
A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,
And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
Donald or Robert or Willie or--
Huh? You say it's mine?
Oh, dear,I knew it looked familiar!
1.How are the figurative language used in the poem? Give the specific word(s), explain what type of figurative language it is and why the poet chose to use this figurative language?
Ans: Almost all he word is in similes. I think that the author did not use other figurative languages as the author wanted to keep the poem short and nice.
2.Tell us why you like this poem in no less than 100 words.
Ans: The poem is very interesting and a bit funny as the author describe his own room as if he did not know that was his room. I think this idea of writing poem is very fun and also interesting.
