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!
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.

Donald or Robert or Willie or--
Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!
I personally think that the poet is quick to push the blame to others. It is normal for people to quickly push the blame away to somebody, because everyone does not want to get scolded or suffer the consequences if we do a wrongdoing. However, taking the consequences is better than pushing the blame away to an innocent person, because if one gets a punishment, he will learn that he will not do the same thing again and hence, turn over a new leaf. However, if he kept on pushing the blame to others, like in this poem, the poet made the room very unorganized and did not take good care of his own things, but still push the responsibility to others. This is not a good thing as this will led the innocent one to be very upset, and you yourself will also be very sorry for yourself and the innocent person, besides you will not learn from your mistakes. By escaping from the truth, how are you going to serve the nation and the society?
By right, getting scolded is a good thing because you learn, but if you push the blame to others, you are not only lying to others, you are also lying to yourself.
