Answer:
I like the poem because it is unlike other poems. It doesn't rhyme. It also forms a story, which not very many poems do, at least not like this. And, lastly, I like this poem because it has comedy in it. And in my opinion, everything can be better in life if you add a touch of comedy.
Explanation:
True
In Coleridge's Biographia Literaria, he says that it is legitimate to call any composition composed using rhyme and meter a poem. In the text he says, "If a man chooses to call every composition a poem, which is rhyme, or measure, or both, I must leave his opinion uncontroverted." He goes on to repeat this when he says, "the composition will be a poem, merely because it is distinguished from composition in prose by metre, or by rhyme, or by both conjointly." In both of these he asserts that a poem is a composition with rhyme and meter.

idiom
Idioms are phrases that don't have a literal meaning. This means that we can't conclude what a phrase means based on the meanings of words that make it up. We simply have to learn what these phrases mean.
An example of an idiom is <em>in one ear and out the other</em><em>.</em> This doesn't mean that something enters through one and exits through the other ear. Actually, this expression refers to an instance when someone ignores, dismisses, or forgets something almost immediately after being told. In this case, Dahl's antagonist keeps forgetting Billy's name instantly after hearing it.
