H THE HAUGHTY
H the Haughty.
Hoity-toity! Here’s high-minded haughty Miss H.
To be so self-satisfied’s naughty, Miss H,
With your nose in the air,
And your insolent stare,
I can’t think what you’ll look like at forty, Miss H.
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.
