Download Classic Comic Verse AudioBook Free
Comedy is very subjective. What makes one individual roar with laughter can neglect to elicit even the faintest of smiles from another. However the classics of comic verse have stood the test of time. Here are the favorites from Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, Jonathan Swift, Thomas Hood, Hillaire Belloc, W.S. Gilbert, William Shakespeare, Lord Byron, John Keats, C.S. Calverley- all the way through to the masterly pen of the age, John Betjeman. And that is not to forget perhaps the greatest of these all: Anon. They wrote in couplets, triplets, in quatrains and trochaic dimeters. You will discover ballads, sonnets, proverbs, and nonsense verse. Poems to see, divert, satirize, castigate and praise. And you have the delightfully abused form, the limerick. A series to make all listeners smile, laugh, remember and find out.
