| Summary | "Absurd Ditties" by G. E. Farrow is a collection of humorous poetry written in the early 20th century. The poems chronicle a variety of whimsical tales filled with absurdity, featuring diverse characters like judges, socialists, and even playful animals, each story revealing the oddities of life through clever verses and lighthearted narratives. The opening of "Absurd Ditties" introduces various characters in whimsical scenarios, beginning with Mr. Justice Dear, who lamentably realizes that he has not had any criminal cases to adjudicate, resulting in his house being robbed amidst an amusing conversation with burglars. Following him, Mr. Brown reflects on how his wealth has changed his fortunes, tragically leading to his demise in a stuck elevator. Each poem explores ludicrous situations, blending humor with insightful commentary, setting the tone for a light yet engaging collection that celebrates the absurdities of life.
