#1199: Pp. 1-9, A Treasury of Humorous Poetry

I thought I’d put up some lighter poems to compensate for all the noir stuff from Browning, and found A Treasury of Humorous Poetry. This 1902 collection is nothing if not varied.

“Faithless Nelly Gray” by Thomas Hood
“The Ahkoond of Swat” by George T. Lanigan
“The Yarn of the Nancy Bell” by William S. Gilbert
