T the Timid.
Terribly timid is tremulous T,
Who appears to be sitting uncomfortably.
He looks nervous and ill,
And will certainly spill
All his tea. He has spilt some already, I see.
T THE TIMID
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.
