Martin Gardner's Favorite Poetic Parodies
Martin Gardner
Whether you love poetry or just don't get it, you will love these often hilarious poetic parodies. Martin Gardner has assembled his favourites, many by famous authors in their own right (Robert Sherwood, G. K. Chesterton, A. E. Housman, Bret Harte). Gardner does us the favour of putting the original poems first, followed by their parodies, thus providing a sampling of some of the best-known poems in English while demonstrating how easily the profound can be made to look ridiculous.
