Absurd Ditties

"Absurd Ditties" by G. E. Farrow is a collection of comedic poetry released in the early 1900s. These poems tell many comical stories full of foolishness and include different people, such as judges, activists, and even animals that love to play. Each story shows how strange life can be through smart rhymes and cheerful storytelling. “Absurd Ditties” starts by showing different people in funny situations. For example, there is Mr. Justice Dear, who is sad because he has no criminals to judge, which leads to his house being robbed during a funny talk with robbers. Then there is Mr. Brown, who thinks about how his riches have changed his life, but sadly dies in a broken elevator. Every poem looks at silly situations, mixing jokes with smart thoughts, making it a happy and interesting collection that honors the ridiculous parts of life.
