At Odd Moments: A Book of Verses and Parodies is a collection of poems and satirical pieces written by the author Dum Dum in 1900. The book is divided into two sections, with the first section containing original poems and the second section containing parodies of famous works of literature. The original poems cover a range of topics, including love, nature, and social commentary. They are written in a variety of styles, from sonnets to free verse, and showcase Dum Dum's wit and humor. The parodies in the second section are written in the style of famous poets such as William Shakespeare, John Keats, and Robert Browning. Dum Dum takes well-known poems and rewrites them with a humorous twist, often poking fun at the original work or the poet themselves. Overall, At Odd Moments is a charming and entertaining collection of poetry that showcases Dum Dum's talent as a writer and humorist. It provides a glimpse into the literary world of the early 1900s and is sure to delight readers who enjoy both original poetry and clever parodies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
