Answer:
Dear Mum’ is a comic poem written by Brian Patten. It is actually a letter written by a child to his mom who wasn’t at home and he spent the day alone. It reveals the child’s inappropriate behaviour. He had broken the cup and vase brought from China by his mother’s grandfather. However, the mischievous child claims that he has no idea how this happened. He claims that he did not turn on the water, but water began to overflow mysteriously. He had taken the jam and left the jam stain on the kitchen wall, but he claims to his mother that these strange things happened on their own and that there were ghosts in the house. So, this poem is about a child’s innocence and how he tries to conceal from his mother the mischievous things he has done.
We know, as Mum will know, that a cup can’t break itself and that our protagonist is responsible. So too is he responsible for everything he tries to absolve himself of in the poem – and that’s its joke. Yet here Patten’s also making a poetic joke: he’s using a type of metaphor – a poetic lie – called personification to embody the protagonist’s thoughts. Personification pretends that inanimate objects are alive, and this poem has several as well as the self breaking cup: magically appearing jam stains and self-cracking vases. It’s like a magic imagined world has come alive.
