A little book of American humorous verse

About this book

This book is a small compilation, not a complete collection, of humorous verse of strictly American make. The "makers" (as all poets were once called) are arranged as nearly as possible in the order of their birth. I have denied place to parody, burlesque and those selections which, being merely comic or clever, did not measure up to my notion of truly humorous verse. - Preface.
