Cholmondeley Pennell is a collection of humorous poetry written in the mid-19th century. The work showcases the whimsical character of Puck, who embodies light-hearted satire and parodies about the societal and artistic follies of the time. It offers a comedic exploration of a variety of subjects through clever verse, including playful takes on literature and notable events of the era. The opening of "Puck on Pegasus" sets the tone with a preface in which the author expresses gratitude towards critics and the press while explaining the modifications made in this edition. It introduces several poems, like "The Night Mail North," which portrays the urgency and excitement of train travel, capturing a race against time with vivid imagery and rhythm. Another poem, "The Fight for the Championship," humorously recounts a boxing match. Overall, the beginning establishes a foundation of energetic and entertaining poetry, brimming with wit and observation, making it an inviting read for those interested in light satire and poetic parody.
