R the Respectable.
Proper and highly respectable R.
About your appearance most particular.
The man with the broom
Steps aside to make room,
And wonders, poor fellow, whoever you are.
R THE RESPECTABLE
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.
