Books, Arts & Manners: Well Versed

The Oxford Book of Comic Verse, edited by John Gross (Oxford, 512 pp., $25)

COMIC verse, as a form, has probably been around almost as long as verse itself; I will concede a slight seniority to love poems. Soitisa matter for celebration that we now have an Oxford Book of Comic Verse to take its place on the long shelf of Oxford Books of this and that.
