The New Book of Nonsense Contribution to the Great Central Fair in Aid of the Sanitary Commission

"The New Book of Nonsense" by Anonymous is a collection of playful poems from long ago. It's filled with humorous and silly rhymes that make fun of everyday life. Each poem introduces a funny person or weird situation, like a fancy man from New York or an odd old woman from Norfolk. These short verses playfully poke at the way people act and the things they do, sometimes making light of the problems of the time. This book wants to make you laugh and think, showing off funny writing and interesting characters. It’s a fun escape into a crazy world where anything can happen, and silliness rules.
