More Misrepresentative Men

Name: More Misrepresentative Men
Author: Harry Graham

Misrepresentative Men is a collection of humorous poems by Harry Graham. The poems are written in a light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek style, and poke fun at the foibles of men in all walks of life. The poems cover a wide range of topics, from the pompous politician to the absent-minded professor, from the foppish dandy to the bumbling businessman. Each poem is a witty and often irreverent look at the male gender, and the characters portrayed are often exaggerated for comic effect. The collection is divided into four sections: 'The Politician', 'The Professional', 'The Dandy' and 'The Businessman'. Each section contains a selection of poems that explore the various aspects of male behaviour, from the ridiculous to the sublime. The collection is a humorous and entertaining read, and is sure to bring a smile to the face of any reader.

First lines

When honest men are all in bed, We poets at our desks are toiling, To earn a modicum of bread, And keep the pot a-boiling; We weld together, bit by bit, The fabric of our laboured wit.

We see with eyes of frank dismay The coming of this Autumn season, When bards are driven to display Their feast of rhyme and reason; With hectic brain and loosened collar, We chase the too-elusive dollar.
