"Perverted Proverbs: A Manual of Immorals for the Many" by Harry Graham is a humorous collection of satirical verse written in the early 20th century. The book twists traditional proverbs and sayings into irreverent commentary on morality, virtue, and human behavior. Through a series of clever and pointed poems, the author playfully critiques societal norms while emphasizing the absurdity of conventional morality. The content of the book consists of a series of verses that take well-known proverbs and reinterpret them in a humorous, often cynical manner. Graham explores themes of vice versus virtue, the rewards and consequences of immoral behavior, and the hypocrisy inherent in traditional moral teachings. Each poem adopts a light-hearted tone, poking fun at the rigid standards imposed by society on human behavior, while also inviting readers to reflect on the often contradictory nature of morality. The work balances wit with wisdom, using humor to subtly question and critique the values that dictate human conduct. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 76.2 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
