A collection of rhyming couplets, these wry and witty poems ponder the foibles and vanities of mortals. Cartoon pen-and-ink drawings by well-known illustrator Barrington Barber accompany the limerick-like lyrics, which capture the ridiculous-such as absurdly trimmed mustaches and outrageous hairstyles-with humorous rhymes and amusing titles. Perfect for any lover of light verse, these observations are both keen and catchy.
