Q.5. List the things that make the poem look funny to you.
Ans:-
He wore his mittens on his toes,
Forgot his collar in his haste,
And tied his tie around his waist.
“You’ve got your coat on inside out!”
And when they saw his hat, they said:
“You’ve put a saucepan on your head!”
At lunch he scratched a piece of bread,
And spread some butter on his head.
He put his walking stick to bed,
And he stood in the rack instead.
What a muddle head was he,
He rushed into the first café:
“A railway ticket please, One way.”
And at the ticket office said:
“A slice of tea and a cup of bread.”
