Carolyn Wells takes liberties with language and employs humour to describe the wild animals. Give some examples of humorous descriptions in the poem.

Answer»

Solution :It depends on the subject matter what style a poet adopts while writing a poem. The poem DESCRIBES wild animals and how to distinguish them. To avoid oversimplification and monotony, the poet uses .humour. as an effective weapon. The .humour. used in the poem is suggestive and mild. It is not biting or scathing in effect. If the Asian Lion "roars at you as you.re dyin". The Bengal Tiger is a .noble. wild beast that "greets you” when you are roaming round in the jungle. The unsparing Leopard will show no mercy and it will “do no good to roar with pain.” If you have any doubts, the bear will "give you just one more CARESS." The poet uses subtle humour when he SAYS: "Hyenas come with merry smiles, But if they weep they.re CROCODILES".
