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!

The author used figuritive language to exaggerate the dirtiness of the room before he actually realised it was his.

I like this poem because it is extremely humorous. There is also a twist at the end which made him regret all his remarks before. The description of the messy room is very visual and we can imagine how it looks like in our minds. This is also something we can relate to. Some times, our rooms are so messy until we did not realise we were responsible for it.
