THE OBJECTION TO BEING STEPPED ON, by ROBERT FROST Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: At the end of the row Last Line: Turned into a weapon Subject(s): Accidents; Tools; Wit & Humor | |||
At the end of the row I stepped on the toe Of an unemployed hoe. It rose in offense And struck me a blow In the seat of my sense. It wasn't to blame But I called it a name. And I must say it dealt Me a blow that I felt Like a malice prepense. You may call me a fool, But was there a rule The weapon should be Turned into a tool? And what do we see? The first tool I step on Turned into a weapon. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BALLAD OF BASEBALL BURDENS by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS BASEBALL?ÇÖS SAD LEXICON by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS BRICKS AND STRAW by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS LORD HEYGATE by HILAIRE BELLOC ON A GREAT ELECTION by HILAIRE BELLOC IMITATION OF THOMSON by ISAAC HAWKINS BROWNE IMITATION OF SWIFT by ISAAC HAWKINS BROWNE |
