This book was a delightful collection of humorous poetry that had me chuckling from start to finish. Belloc’s witty and clever verses cover a wide range of topics, touching upon everything from politics to nature to everyday life. His use of rhyme and meter is masterful, and each poem flows effortlessly from one to the next.
I particularly enjoyed the way Belloc playfully poked fun at societal norms and conventions, offering a refreshing and often satirical perspective on the world around us. His unique blend of charm and insight makes this book a joy to read, and I found myself returning to it again and again.

Book Description:
“When Fame comes upon a man well before death then must he most particularly beware of it, for is it then most dangerous. Neither must he, having achieved it, relax effort nor (a much greater peril) think he has done his work because some Fame now attaches thereto.” — Hilaire Belloc
