N the Neighbourly.
This is good-natured and neighbourly N,
Who over the wall has been talking since ten.
To the lady next door,
(Who’s perhaps rather poor)
She’s lending her very best flat-iron again.
N THE NEIGHBOURLY
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.
