Synopsis of Mr. Nobody

So, do you have a clue of what the poem is all about after watching the videos? Please say yes. Here, I have the synopsis of the poem. Do read because it can be your note sometimes.

Synopsis


The poem talks about irresponsible behavior. The persona in the poem is most probably a parent who wants to admonish the children for always running away from responsibility and for blaming others for the mischief that they have done.

The message, though serious, is put in a light-hearted manner as a gentle reminder to children that they should not conveniently blame others for something that they could easily do themselves. It is irresponsible to claim ignorance for little misdeeds that occurs frequently in the house.

The repetition of the reference to Mr Nobody emphasizes how conveniently we blame others for our indifference, negligence and irresponsibility. There is a tinge of humour and we can sense the poet chiding us for blaming others for our carelessness and misdeeds.

The river’s a conquerer
For he’s never afraid.
He is a seeker
Never ceases to raid.

The river’s a tummy,
Rumbling and grumbling, he seems
Eating and eating and eating and eating
Till he bursts at his seams.

The river’s a father,
He’s kind but forgetful
He takes care of us all
Even when his hands are full.

The river’s a savior,
A life-giver, a provider,
He’ll always be there
For all to share.
