F THE FEEBLE
F the Feeble.
Fidgety, fretful, and fractious is F.
For feeble and fragile, and frail is old F;
Not a tooth in his head,
And now, it is said,
The old fellow’s becoming remarkably deaf.
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.
