Versiflage is a collection of humorous and satirical poems written by Percy Waxman and published in 1922. The book is divided into four sections, each containing a different type of poem. The first section includes parodies of well-known poets such as Robert Browning and Alfred Lord Tennyson. The second section features limericks and other short, humorous poems. The third section contains longer narrative poems that satirize various aspects of society, including politics, religion, and social norms. The final section includes a series of poems that mock literary critics and their pretensions. Throughout the book, Waxman employs a witty and irreverent style that pokes fun at the conventions of poetry and the people who take it too seriously. Versiflage is a lively and entertaining collection that showcases Waxman's talent for humor and satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
