Happy Days

This lively collection of comic verses turns everyday subjects into occasions for a toast. Fashion, typewriters, floors, clocks, stairs, music, publishers, waiters, and creditors all receive affectionate—and often irreverent—tributes, while hope, liberty, peace, temptation, and Lady Nicotine are treated with equal parts wit and mock solemnity.

Written in nimble rhymes and brimming with playful wordplay, these poems invite listeners to see the ordinary world from a delightfully topsy-turvy angle. The speakers praise the floor for catching us when we fall, ask the clock to stop at eleven when we come home at three, and imagine a stern heavenly editor judging the human soul. Ideal for listeners who enjoy light verse, theatrical toasts, and humor that is clever without taking itself too seriously.
