Fans of American poetry humor and literary satire will find much to enjoy in this collection of inventive and thought-provoking works. A must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of modern poetry and the art of poetic parody.<br></p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.</p><p>This work is in the public domain in the United States of America and possibly other nations.
