Messy Room

1. Can you say that the poem is humorous? If so how?
Yes, the poem is humorous. The writer depicts and criticises a scene of a terribly messy and disorganised room. He continues to describe how the owner seems to have carelessly thrown articles of clothing all around the room and clumsily attempted to organise the items. Only at the end of his long rant does the writer realise that it is his own room he has been criticising.

2. What aspect of the human character has been highlighted in this poem?
The writer has highlighted the quickness with which people find fault with others but turn a blind eye when it comes to spotting their own mistakes.
