The Norton Book Of Light Verse by Russell Baker
A wide-ranging anthology of witty, playful, and formally inventive poems from various periods and traditions, gathering comic, satirical, parodic, and nonsense pieces—limericks, epigrams, light satires, and whimsical lyrics—that celebrate brevity, wordplay, and social mockery; selections juxtapose classic and modern voices and include brief commentary that contextualizes tone and technique, collectively showing how light verse entertains while slyly engaging serious themes through irony and formal cleverness.
