The
Meehoo with an Exactlywatt
By Shel Silverstein
At a first sight, the
poem might seem confusing but as we try to discover its deeper meaning, we
notice the intricate yet common choice of words and phrases. It looks like an
ordinary conversation between two close friends wanting to have fun, but it
goes on in the most unexpected and interesting way.
The poet is clearly
stating his intention to entertain his readers; he’s witted and amusing and
keeps on building up his “joke”.
In the end we suddenly
realize that the dialogue goes on in the very same way it started, just like a
circle: “Knock knock! (…)
Knock
knock...”
The playful and witted
tone of the poem makes it recommends itself to those who do “taste” and
appreciate a remarkable sample of smart humor.
