Mr.Nobody
I know a funny little man,
As quiet as a mouse,
Who does the mischief that is done
In everybody’s house.
There’s no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
By Mr., Nobody
‘Tis he who always tears our books,
who leaves our doors ajar;
he pulls the buttons from our shirts,
and scatters pins afar,
that squeaking door will always squeak,
because of this you see:
we leave the oiling to be done
by Mr Nobody.
He puts damp wood upon the fire,
So kettles cannot boil;
His are the feet that bring in mud
And all the carpets soil.
The papers always are mislaid,
Who had them last but he?
There’s no one tosses them about
But Mr. Nobody

PARAPHRASED!
Stanza 1
In the beginning of the poem, the author introduces the reader to a Mr. Nobody and he is told to have the appearance of a little man. Mr. Nobody is responsible for every wrong doings that ever occured in everybody's houseStanza 2
The author talks on how Mr. Nobody would tear out pages from books or leaving the door unclosed. He would also pulls button from other people's shirt and act unreliably (he is told to oil the door but does not do so)Stanza 3
Mr. Nobody is not good at camping because he would put damp wood in the fireplace . He is also indecent as he would not wash his feet when he enters somebody's house and that he would mislaid the paperStanza 4
In the final stanza, the author said that Mr. Nobody would open the door without cleaning his hand and leave the blinds unclosed. Irresponsibly, he would spill ink and leave his pair of boots lying aroud the house.FINAL SAY
By now the reader would have understand that the author is talking about little children. Mr. Nobody is actually a little child who would not confess to all his wrongdoings and said that "nobody" did it
