Question

why did the author edward Lear use Roomatiz instead of rheumatism in the poem duck and the kangaroo​

Answer 1

Edward Lear uses a clever misspelling of the word—"roo" instead of "rheu"—to suggest a kangaroo version of the malady. He also breaks the word after the first syllable to create a rhymed couplet with the word "Kangaroo" in the next line
