November 7, 2014
The presented humorous poem "The Duck And The Kangaroo" has been composed by Edward Lear.The poet has made us clear that one can let the tedious work done by others through polite and sweet behavior. The poem can be summarized in following ways: -
*Sweet and Polite conversation: - Edward Lear has opened the poem with sweet and polite conversation between the duck and the kangaroo. The duck who lived in a pond, requested the kangaroo for a ride over his back. It was because his life in the pond was boring. The duck wished to hop like the kangaroo and longed to see the beautiful world sitting still on his back.
*Objection: - The kangaroo heard the request of the duck and thought deeply. He objected and told the duck that his feet were too wet and cold to have a ride, because they would trouble him.
*Sweet Reply by Duck: - The duck replied hearing the words of the kangaroo immediately. The duck told him that it had bought four pairs of socks to keep his feet neat and warm. It had bought a cloak and would smoke a cigar daily.
*Fulfillment of desire: - The kangaroo agreed. In the moonlight, the duck arrived and sat on the steady tail on the kangaroo balancing itself. They hopped the world three times.
In this way Edward Lear has proved that our polite and selfless behavior can help us to fulfill our desire. I even helps to complete difficult tasks with the help of others.
