Humorous Poems

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4,5 Sterne; 3 Bewertungen)

This is a collection of fun poems by West Virginia poet M. Ignatius Brennan. In his poems, the poet makes fun of the people in his surroundings, and the society in which he lived. In most instances his humor is benevolent, but can turn malicious, for instance where Kentucky and Kentuckians are concerned. - Summary by Carolin (6 hr 37 min)

Funny and Smart. Just one thing...

(4,5 Sterne)

Ha it was good and funny and interesting. Only the narration is not the best. The voice isn't my favorite. It may be okay to you but it wasn't the best for me.
