A collection of ''nonsense'' verse. The editor presents her foreword in verse. This part made me smile: ''I trust that you will buy this book; / 'Twill pleasure me and Mr. Doran; / Think how well on your shelves 'twill look / Standing beside The Cid or Koran. / You'll find it so intensely funny, / That you'll be glad you blew the money.''
