POEM BY JACK PRELUTSKY

 Ogrebrag- By Jack Prelutsky

  A callow knight in armor                                                                                                                    Appropriately brave,

  Displayed his lack of wisdom

  And charged into my cave.

  He challenged me to a battle,

  In moments it was through.

  He made a tasty morse—

  His horse was tasty too.

                         The theme of this poem is not to be humble. Before you brag about yourself you need to show that you are as good as you said you are. I choose this poem because it has a really good moral that can help you in the future. I do not relate to this poem because I am very humble. I show people that I am able to do stuff then I start bragging and showing off. I think this poet was a very happy person because in most of his poems the mood he is trying to create is happy.
