St Claire Bullock - a Professor of Philosophy, no less - in the
intervals between pondering the great questions of life, turned his
hand to penning light verse in the manner of Hilaire Belloc, Ogden
Nash and Edward Lear. In rhyming couplets these wry and witty poems
ponder the foibles and vanities of mortals. Some of these are
captured in pen and ink drawings which caricature the subject of
the poems. Each character is given an amusing name, beginning with
Master Cecil Abercorn, through Clarence Castle, Serena Huff, The
Marchioness of Mal de Mer, Major Houghton Reid and Thomas Tinkham
Tattersall to Roland Washburn White. There are 70 poems in all of
which 10 are illustrated. The illustration on the front cover
relates to Rupert Ashe: 'The greatest pride of Rupert Ashe was his
luxuriant moustache. He took great care to keep it groomed, And
even, with restraint, perfumed. He brushed it upward every day, and
it made such a grand display, that people who were not the wiser,
imagined that he was the Kaiser.'
