Magnet And The Churn

Magnet and The Churn

by W. S. Gilbert

This collection of light verse, originally published in *Bab Ballads* and *Savoy Songs*, presents a selection of satirical and whimsical poems by W.S. Gilbert, famed for his collaborations with Arthur Sullivan. Gilbert's signature blend of clever wordplay and absurdist situations is on full display, poking fun at social conventions, human foibles, and even the very nature of poetry itself. The poems, often accompanied by charming illustrations, are characterized by their light-heartedness and witty observations, making them enjoyable for readers seeking a dose of Victorian humor.
