M THE MEEK
M the Meek.
Down-trodden, brow-beaten, meek little M,
This torrent of fault-finding nothing can stem.
If her mistress were kinder,
No doubt she would find her
The best of good servants, a regular gem.
About This Book
The collection arranges short rhyming vignettes around the alphabet, assigning each letter to a comical everyday character — from the amiable and industrious to the knavish and the zealous zoologist. Each entry pairs a playful poem with character traits and small scenes that gently satirize manners, moods, and social types, often with light, child-friendly humor and illustrative lines. The result is an accessible, whimsical catalog of personality sketches meant for young readers and casual perusal.
