After reading "Pink Dog", I found that the tone of this poem is satirical and humorous. The poem's tone is achieved through the diction and imagery of the poem. The diction in this poem, such as "idiots", "ebbing", "drugged, drunk, or sober", and "naked and pink", support the humor and satire. All of these words are not formal, and some of the phrases are just absurd and funny. The poet is obviously not trying to make a point by saying everything wrong. Rather, he is saying how they will deal with the problem in a satirical way. The phrases throughout the poem that explain this are actually really funny. When he says that " the beggars who can afford them now wear life preservers", I for real laughed. I mean this is obviously not happening, but the poor are being treated that bad! I did not fully understand this poem, but the humerous diction and imagery of the actions taking place gave me a better understanding.
