Which Poem Can I Identify With The Most

I can identify with : Messy Room by Shel Silverstein.the most. The poem is humorous, as the irony of not being to recognize your own room as a result of the high degree of messiness, is unrealistic, and points out, or criticises human behaviour. We unknowingly criticise ourselves as shown in this poem, the persona laughs at the owner of the messy room, but it is indeed his own! It identifies with me as I think Shel is right, that we do criticise ourselves. Similar to that, I do, repeat the same thing. I would push the blame of a messy table, and scold my brother for it, while instead this was my own wrongdoing. Hence I think this poem relates to me the most in terms of realism and experience.
