Messy Room by Shel Silverstein
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater's been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the closet,
His vest has been left in the hall.
A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,
And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
Donald or Robert or Willie or--
Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!


I think this poem is very interesting. Its like me when I don't want to cleever seen.an my room. You just put stuff where ever you want and it just piles and piles up. Then when you finally have to clean it its the worst disaster you've 



The feelings in this poem to me are surprised, astonished and guilty. The reason I say surprised is because he walks into this room and is so surprised to see how  messy it is. I say astonished because when he finds out it was his room he is...pretty astonished. Also guilty because of course its his room.



The shift is when he starts calling names "Donald or Robert or Willie or--" and then he finds out. That oops its him. Then I like it when he says " it looked familiar ".



I like this poem very much it helps me because right now I have to go and clean my room. Also I shouldn't be blaming things on other people when it could be me. Then I shouldn't be talking bad about people.



Yes I would recommend this poem  to my friends be cause a lot of them well... Just might have messy rooms     :  )
