The Kangaroo does not want to catch 'rheumatism'. Spot this word in stanza 3 and say why it is spelt differently. Why is it

in two parts? Why does the second part begin with a capital letter?

Best Answer

The word 'rheumatism' is spelt differently and is in two parts so that it can rhyme with 'kangaroo' in the following line. As a result of

splitting the word into two and changing its spelling, 'roo' rhymes with 'kangaroo'. The second part 'Matiz' begins with a capital letter

because it is the first word of the line. In a poem, every line begins with a capital letter even if it is in continuation with the previous

line. Hence, this has been done in order to enhance the poetic effect of the lines.
