Summary:

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.
