LITERATURE COMPONENT Poem - Mr Nobody by Unknown Read the poem and give short answers to the corresponding questions. Mr Nobody I know a funny little man, As quiet as a mouse Who does the mischief that is done In everybodys house! Theres no one ever sees his face, And yet we all agree That every plate we break was cracked By Mr Nobody. He puts damp wood upon the fire, That kettles cannot boil; His are the feet that bring in mud, And all the carpets soil. The paper always are mislaid, Who had them last but he? Theres no one tosses them about But Mr Nobody

Tis he who always tears our books, Who leaves the door ajar, He pulls the buttons from our shirts, And scatters pins afar; That squeaking door will always squeak, For, prithee, dont you see, We leave the oiling to be done

The finger marks upon the door By none of us are made; We never leave the blinds unclosed, To let the curtains fade; The ink we never spill; the boots That lying round you see Are not our boots they all belong
