#1209: Pps. 9-17, A Treasury of Humorous Poetry

A Treasury of Humorous Poetry continues. This time, one of my ethnic oxen is gored, so you can tell I mean it about giving some love to dialect poetry! We also have a couple of ballads of romantic love gone wrong, a retelling of Robinson Crusoe’s contented castaway life, and a slice of parental life.

Pps. 9-17.

“Widow MacShane” by Robert Henry Newell (writing as ‘Orpheus C. Kerr’)
“Robinson Crusoe” by Charles Edward Carryl
“The Ballad of the Oysterman” by Oliver Wendell Holmes
“Only Seven: A Pastoral Story After Wordsworth” by Henry S. Leigh

14:39.

UPDATE: Link fixed. Sorry about that.

    The RSS entry doesn’t have a properly formed enclosure.
    And the link above doesn’t point to the actual file . It looks like the file is mis-spelled with an extra zero in the name.
