Shel Silverstein Poem Analysis 9

The Loser
By Shel Silverstein
Although the title is not a very nice one, the poem is a very deep one, despite the simplicity of its lines and its words. It can be read as a warning to what might happen if you do not listen to your mama. Losing your head, for example, will trigger the loss of your ears and mouth and brains and you might find yourself in a terrible situation.
But the solution that the poet offers for such incidents is both hilarious and wise at the same time. Whenever you find yourself in such a situation, there is nothing better to be done but “sit down …and rest for just a minute...”
The attitude is positive and optimistic as it encourages you stop for a minute and figure out a solution instead of worrying and becoming desperate.

I strongly recommend the poem to all those people who panic easily and think that sometimes there is no way out to a problem. But probably once they read this meaningful poem they’ll understand how good it is to take your time and think things through.
