Poetry to Make You Smile

This is quite a nice little book of poetry (just fits on your hand). The 332 pages pack in a lot of poems and there's an index if you want a particular poet. It includes some that you would expect, like Ogden Nash, Edward Lear, and Lewis Carroll. Others will surprise you like Louis L'Amour and Walter Raleigh. There's really quite a wide selection from limericks to ballads. It even has a nice ribbon bookmark.
