Publisher's Synopsis
Ruthless Rhymes For Heartless Homes is a book of darkly humorous poetry written by Harry Graham under the pseudonym ""Col. D. Streamer"" and published in 1902. The poems are satirical and often violent, with a focus on the absurdity of everyday life. The book is divided into several sections, each with its own theme, such as ""The Young Despot"", ""The Old Maid"", and ""The Politician"". The poems are written in a simple, nursery rhyme style, but the content is often shocking and subversive. The book was controversial when it was first published, but has since become a classic of British humor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
