Poem Analysis Shel Silverstein

The Meehoo with an Exactlywatt

By Shel Silverstein

The entire poem sounds like an everyday and ordinary conversation but obviously spiced up with the right amount of humor and wit. It is abundant of words play and rhyming and it creates a hilarious atmosphere.

The attitude is bubbly and after reading the lines you realize you still remember some of the cleverly built combinations of words. Therefore, the writer has achieved his goal: making people enjoy and remember his poem.

From the beginning you wonder how and if the poem ends but it continues and continues up to a turning point where you would think that it is over but, to your surprise, it’s cyclical restarting in the very same way as it began “  Knock knock”.

I strongly recommend this poem to everyone who wants to be amused and see how simple but wisely chosen words can help us change our perspective and become more outgoing.
