disscuss in class dear santa. Do you find the poem funny? What makes it funny?
Answers
The question is from the poem "Dear Santa" by Kenn Nesbitt.
Yes, the poem is funny, because of the following reasons.
1. Christmas is a traditional festival and Santa comes only around Christmas. So, Santa too is old and traditional. He really does not seem so tech-savvy that he knows about various social media sites.
2. Instead of writing a letter to Santa, the child is trying to reach Santa through the internet. The child is trying to make sure that Santa reads or sees his message. The internet is a more sure shot way of communication and the child does not want to take any chances. He just does not want his message to get lost.
3. The child has left messages for Santa on all social media platforms that he uses. it is extremely funny when he realises that there might not even be internet available at the north pole.
4. It is funny how writing a simple letter is a lot more difficult for the child than posting on so many sites.
All these reasons make the poem very funny.
