Question

Which poetic device used repeatedly in the poem creates humour?

Options

• simile

• hyperbole

• metaphor

• alliteration

Answer 1

hyperbole

Explanation

The poem mainly creates humour through hyperbole (exaggeration). Bhisma Lochan’s singing is described as being so terrible that people flee, birds turn upside down, and animals panic. These exaggerated effects make the poem amusing and entertaining.
