• George Bernard Shaw

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Summary:-}}}}$❐

• Throughout the poem, the speaker notes that (as a youngster) he had an active imagination and alludes to childhood images of adventure similar to those of Mark Twain's character Tom Sawyer and Harper Lee's Jem, Scout and Dill in To Kill a Mockingbird. Pretending was a daily staple of these characters' young lives.

• The things the speaker pretended to be are clichés—the games little boys have played throughout numerous generations (during Shaw's time and still today), including a pirate and a cowboy. These roles were not sophisticated in nature, but the speaker says, "These simple things did please me."
