In Martin Gardner's Favorite Poetic Parodies the author has assembled his favorite examples of the lighter side of poetry. Readers may never look at famous poems the same once they read Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee" and then Charles Lummis's "Cannibalee" or Tennyson's "Crossing The Bar" compared to Armand Ringer's "Leaving The Bar". The original poems are presented first, followed by their parodies. It is a gathering of some of the best known and loved poems while demonstrating how easily the profound can be made to look ridiculous.
