Wonderful old-fashioned humorous poetry By Benjamin Proshek This is an incredible collection of some of the most hilarious English/American short poetry penned in the 19th century (and early 20th). It contains hundreds of entries written by dozens of authors, some famous, most obscure, all displaying here a studied skill in wordplay conjoined to a childish sense of humor. If you enjoy a good limerick, ballads about cannibals, horrible puns, scientific mockeries, pure Mother-goose style nonsense, literary parodies, and all other manner of poetic fun skillfully delivered in every meter under the sun, this book is for you.Some sections of this anthology committed me to the floor in laughter. My favorite part is the "compendium" of re-writings of the classic "I Never Saw A Purple Cow" poem in the style of famous English poets; to anyone familiar with the writings of Milton, Keats, Kipling, etc., it's a stitch. The rendering of Carroll's "Jabberwocky" into Latin, German, and a football brawl is priceless. And, of course, just silly things, like poems entitled "The Dyspeptic Cannibal", "A Strike Among Poets", "How A Girl Was Too Reckless Of Grammar By Far", and "The Romance Of The Carpet". Most every entry is a gem.A few caveats: the only thing that has changed about this book in its reprinting appears to be the cover. This is an old book, and there are several poems and illustrations that are definitely not politically correct, particularly with reference to African-Americans. Nothing vulgar, however. And, since the new reprinted edition only changed the cover, do try to obtain an older edition if you can. The new floppy yellow cover just doesn't have the same character as an old, gray hardcover, even if it is guaranteed to be in better shape. This is a quaint old book written by and for nutty English majors (largely), and a gaudy yellow softcover just doesn't do it justice.

Retzer I remember reading this book first as a child, having found it among the precious collection of my mother's books from when she was a child. I rediscovered it again among the forgotten and neglected books in my high school library.Now, several decades later I have located and bought myself a vintage edition very much like my mother's beloved copy.Never have I come across such a lovingly assembled collection of nonsense and whimsy. Even after the span of 80 years since it was published, the humor in this book shines with all the raucous exuberance of it's day.Nostalgic, but not dated; innocent, but not naive; silly and playful to be sure, but never stupid -certainly never coarse or vulgar; this is an assembly of inspired daffiness, genuine wit and brilliant humor.HIGHLY recommended to anyone who seeks to know what humor really is. The collection of Jabberwocky parodies alone is worth the cost of the book.

Flawed but welcome By Tir Annwyl This book was purchased to introduce my 8-year-old granddaughter to some of the classical nonsense verses I grew up with. It arrived today and I immediately turned to one of my favorites, Charles Edward Carryl's "The Post Captain." I was disappointed to see that the very first line of the poem was mis-printed; the actual first line "Post Captain at The Needles and commander of the crew" was replaced with a line from a later stanza, which made no sense at all. I can correct that for my granddaughter, but I wonder how many other such errors I will find. Still, this will be a useful reminder of my dad declaiming these beloved nonsense verses to our delighted giggles.
