The Mirthful Lyre is a collection of humorous poems written by the American poet Arthur Guiterman, published in 1918. The book contains a total of 76 poems, each with its own unique style and subject matter. The poems are written in a light-hearted and witty tone, often poking fun at various aspects of society and everyday life. Some of the poems are parodies of well-known literary works, such as Shakespeare's Hamlet and Tennyson's The Charge of the Light Brigade. Others are satirical commentaries on contemporary events, such as the First World War and the rise of the automobile industry. Despite their humorous nature, the poems also contain elements of social commentary and criticism, highlighting the absurdities and contradictions of modern life. The Mirthful Lyre is a delightful and entertaining read for anyone who enjoys witty and clever poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
