An assortment of witty, urbane light verse that blends playful parody, learned pastiche, and topical satire. Poems range from comic ballads and mock-epics to occasional pieces and short narrative lyrics that lampoon literary fashions, advertising, urban manners, and wartime anxieties. The tone shifts between affectionate mockery and pointed irony, employing epigrammatic lines, varied meters, and clever allusion to make learned references serve everyday comedy.
