Question

What is the summary of the poem 'Foolish' question by William Cole?

Answer 1

"The author enumerates all different part of the body that have many meaning like the bridge of the nose and the drum of the ear.

Where can a man buy a cap for his knee?

Or a key for the lock of his hair?

And can his eyes be called a school?

I would think—there are pupils there!

What jewels are found in the crown of his head,

And who walks on the bridge of his nose?

Can he use, in building the roof of his mouth,

the nails on the ends of his toes?

Can the crook of his elbow be sent to jail

"
