Ruthless Rhymes For Heartless Homes (1902)

Ruthless Rhymes For Heartless Homes is a collection of satirical and darkly humorous poems written by Harry Graham under the pseudonym ""Col. D. Streamer."" Originally published in 1902, the book features over 200 short poems that poke fun at societal norms and expectations, often with a macabre twist. The poems cover a wide range of topics, from marriage and family life to politics and religion. The book's title is a nod to the popular children's poetry book, Mother Goose Rhymes, but the content is decidedly more adult-oriented. The poems are often cynical and sarcastic, with a focus on the darker aspects of human behavior. Despite the controversial nature of the content, the book has remained popular over the years and is considered a classic of British humor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
