One of the Amazon Freebies - Point Lace and Diamonds by George Augustus Baker. Lots of comic poetry - gems like
'I do wonder what is the reason,
That good men are all like Joe Price
So poky, and stiff, and conceited,
And fast ones are always so nice!'
And one or two more thoughtful ones:
'Our loved ones leave us; so we all grow fonder
Of their world than of ours; for here we seem
Alone in haunted houses, and we wonder
Which is the waking life, and which the dream.'
