Poem 8. Nobody’s Friend (Enid Blyton)
Nobody’s Friend
She had some sweets
that she wouldn’t share,
She had a book that she
wouldn’t lend,
She wouldn’t let anyone
play with her doll,
She’s
nobody’s friend!
He had some toffee, and
ate every bit,
He had a tricycle he
wouldn’t lend,
He never let anyone
play with his train,
He’s
nobody’s friend!
But I’ll share all of
my sweets with you,
My ball and my books
and my games I will lend,
Here’s half my apple
and half my cake
— I’m your friend!
(Enid
Blyton)

Short Summary
In the poem "Nobody's
Friend" by Enid Blyton, the speaker describes two individuals who
exhibit selfish behaviour and are consequently deemed as "nobody's
friend." The first person is described as refusing to share sweets, lend a
book, or allow others to play with their doll. Similarly, the second person
selfishly eats all of their toffee, refuses to lend their tricycle, and keeps
their train to themselves.
However, the speaker contrasts these individuals with themselves, expressing a willingness to share sweets, lend toys and books, and divide their apples and cake with others. The speaker declares themselves as a true friend, willing to share and be generous with others. Through this contrast, the poem emphasizes the importance of kindness, generosity, and sharing in fostering true friendship.
