Question

what type of poem is father William? ​

Answer 1

You Are Old, Father William by Lewis Carroll

You Are Old, Father William by Lewis Carroll is a poem that is structured as a dialogue between a “father” and “his son,” though the details given for the pair vary and cause confusion in regard to who is involved in this exchange. This confusion pairs well with the odd inquiries posed by the “son,” as well as the odd responses of the “father,” and the mixture of bizarre proves to be a perfect circumstance to mirror the theme of the poem. That theme involves generation gaps—specifically how different generations can fail to understand one another.

Answer 2

Answer:

Carroll's "You are Old, Father William" is a parody of a well-known Victorian children's poem, "The Old Man's Comforts and How He Gained Them" by Robert Southey, first published in 1799. This is just one of the many famous didactic poems that Carroll parodies in Alice.
