Question

Why can't he play football or shape of snowman

Answer 1

Who is he and he wants to play football

Answer 2

The ‘he’ that is mentioned in the mentioned line is referring to the ‘Idiot Box’ which is commonly known as Television.

Here in the poem ‘The Idiot Box’ the poet Arvind Gigoo is saying that the Television can't play football or shape of snowman because it is a machine and it does not have legs and arms.

Most importantly it is neither a living being nor it can move. In the entire poem, the poet personifies the television.
