The volume presents comical skits and verses, like "Through Space on a Formula," a quirky tale of people making a silly trip to space with an iceberg tackling wild obstacles and dumb science. Several parts give light-hearted criticism of social issues, like electric lights and their impact of crime, funny poems about Tolstoy's tobacco habits, and jibes targeting people and happenings.
