Didactic poetry is a feature of this poem. This type of poetry is intended to convey instruction and information in a "fun sort of way" while at the same time putting across a delicate or serious message. Bear in mind, the poet when creating the knowledge-based content would of necessity use a variety of ways to spice it up or down. Hence, use is made of such poetic devices as: satire, drama, parody, fable, aphorisms, apologues, gnomes, and proverbs and would probably use just one of them in a particular poem as the mood dictates.
