P the Perky.
Perky and proud is particular P.
She wouldn’t converse with a policeman, not she!
But I have heard it said,
That a soldier in red
By her is regarded more favourably.
P THE PERKY
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.
