Much of the humour in the poem arisesfrom the way language is used. Although the ideas are funny as well. If there are particular lines in the poem that you especially like, share these lines with the class, speaking briefly about what it is about the ideas or the language that you like or find funny.
The way the poet has used language and ideas in the poem is indeed humourous. The lines from the poem that appears to be funny are: 'A noble wild beast greets you'. The idea that a wild beast is going to welcome you is quite funny. The language in the line, 'Hell only lep and lep again', is also very humorous. The concept of lep from the word leopard generates humour.
