i lived in America for 3yrs i am now currently living in the UK i met my best m8 in America! i rang her up and she read out loud this poem to me i was completely confused so i googled it and finally found it now i’ve read to my self i get it completely and laughed at it after finished because it was so funny and good at the same time! 😀
The book this poem is in, A Light in the Attic, has wonderful illustrations, also by Silverstein. Those who find the poem confusing need to get hold of the book and look at the picture of the MeeHoo with her ExactlyWhat.
This is my favorite poem out of them all! My whole family likes it including my classmates
This is the best poem. I know, I know all of Shel’s poems are just great but this poem takes the cake.
