V the Vacant.
Utterly vacant and lost is poor V,
He’s forgotten the date of the wedding you see.
He’s forgotten the ring,
And in fact everything;
A remarkable kind of a bridegroom is he.
V THE VACANT
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.
