summary of the muddlehead by ogden nash
Answers
The poem ‘The Muddlehead’ is about an extremely funny man who gets so much confused that his acts leave the readers in stitches. He often mixes things up funnily. He is so forgetful that he gets mixed up with wearing clothes. He wears mittens on his toes, and ties his tie round his waist in place of the belt. He wears his coat inside out; and in place of his hat he often puts on saucepan on his head.
While eating, if he feels itchy, he scratches on his bread and applies butter on his head! And after a day’s work when he reaches home he puts his walking stick on the bed and stands himself in the rack. He often gets mixed up with language too. For example instead of saying the words properly he misplaces their letters in the following manner:
"Parding your beggon,
Kister Monductor,
I'm off for a week's vacation;
I stop you to beg your cramway tar
As soon as we reach the station."
Which a normal man would say, “Begging your pardon,
Mister Conductor,
I am off for a week’s vacation;
I beg you to stop your tramway car
As soon as we reach the station.”
He often asks a railway ticket at the café, and slice of tea and cup of bread at the railway ticket office! Once he breaks all the limits of forgetfulness. He buys a ticket and sits in a coach under repair and just wonders after a few hours at the fact that he is there where he had started. His forgetfulness leaves every reader in stitches. One keeps finding normal specimen of forgetfulness now and then; but none can beat ‘The Muddlehead’ in his funny forgetfulness.
