520			_a"The Book of Humorous Verse" by Carolyn Wells is a compilation of comedic poetry written during the early 20th century. This work brings together a variety of humorous verses from different authors, aiming to provide readers with a delightful collection that captures the essence of wit and humor in poetry. Given the diverse selections, the book likely features a range of themes and styles, showcasing playful jests, satire, and light-hearted narratives. The opening of the compilation sets the stage with an introduction where Wells expresses her intent to create a compilation that represents various humorous poems rather than an exhaustive collection. She hints at the challenges of selection and arrangement as she aims to satisfy different tastes. The introduction is followed by a selection of humorous poems from notable authors like W. S. Gilbert and James Whitcomb Riley. These poems encompass amusing insights on subjects ranging from the trials of being a humorist to lighthearted takes on societal norms. The whimsical tone of the opening suggests that readers can expect a rich tapestry of humor throughout the book. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
