Washing
by John Drinkwater
What is all this washing about,
Every day, week in, week out?
From getting up till going to bed,
I’m tired of hearing the same thing said.
Whether I’m dirty or whether I’m not,
Whether the water is cold or hot,
Whether I like it or whether I don’t –
Whether I will or whether I won’t –
Have you washed your hands, and washed your face?
I seem to live in a washing place.
b. Read the poem to yourself. Does the main character like to wash his face and hands? Why do you think so?
c
. Make a group of five students. The first student whispers the 1st line. The 2nd student reads the 2nd line in a low voice. The 3rd student reads the 3rd line a bit louder and thus up to the 5th line. Then the 1st student reads the 6th line in a high and loud voice, others in a lower voice and the last line is whispered. So, the volume of the poem is like this figure: (triangle).
