U the Unhappy.
Unfortunate and most unwilling is U.
The poor little chap’s in a terrible stew,
When he’s had the tooth out
He’ll be better, no doubt,
And a new tooth will grow where the other one grew.
U THE UNHAPPY
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.
