Something Else Again

** "Something Else Again" by Franklin P. Adams is a collection of comical poems from the early 1900s that uses different styles of poetry to talk about love, society, and thinking about life, all with a funny and teasing attitude. Adams puts together old-fashioned ideas with what was happening back then, making his poems still interesting and important today. The first poems in the book playfully change classic ideas, like worrying too much about the future in the poem "Present Imperative." He even uses the character Horace from old poems to talk about love and what it means to be human, mixing jokes with remembering the past. These first poems suggest the book will show off the writer's skill for smart wordplay and opinions about what people thought was normal and what they felt inside. **
