Question:

Can you plz tell me the theme of this poem?

A married man who begs his friend,
A bachelour, to wed and end
His lonesome, sorry state,
Is like a bather in the sea,
Goose-pimpled, blue from neck to knee,
Who cries, "The Waters's Great"!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The general theme is sarcasm and irony. It's about someone who's suffering, and inviting someone else to suffer by explaining how great it is to suffer.
