The poem is very playful as there are many instances of fun and cheerful words describing the humble bumble bee. For example, the title could be a pun.

In music class, the teacher would hand out all the best instruments to the pretty girls. “Here, Clarisse, you get the triangle!” “Lisa, would you like the slide whistle?” “Jennifer, how about tickling the ivories of this priceless antique harpsichord?” And on and on it went, until it came to me. “Round-headed girl,” said the teacher. “Take these wood-blocks.” Just for…

Another example of how Shakespeare uses literary devices to portray Mercutio’s definition of love is when he tried to coax Romeo out of hiding by mocking him with sexual puns: “Now he will sit under a melder tree,/ And wish his mistress were that kind of fruit/ As maids call medlars when they laugh alone./ O Romeo, that she were- O that she were/ An open-arse or thou a poperin pear”(II, ii, 36-40).
