X the Excitable.
This is the highly excitable X.
The result of the poll, or some land we annex,
Drives him quite off his head;
And I have heard it said
That such conduct his wife doth exceedingly vex.
X THE EXCITABLE
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.
