What you’re looking at
This page contains poetry and humor celebrating spring, plus instructional advertising. **"Ode to Spring"** is a lighthearted British-inflected poem (credited to *London Opinion*) using exaggerated upper-class slang ("jolly," "priceless," "old fruit") to catalog spring's pleasures: new clothing, romance, and outdoor activities. The humor lies in treating mundane seasonal changes with mock-serious enthusiasm. **"A Revealer of Undulations"** is a brief joke: a man claims to have believed the earth was flat until riding in someone's "second-hand car"—implying the vehicle bounces so badly it made him experience the earth's curvature as physical sensation. **Two cartoon illustrations** accompany the content: one shows a man tipping a waiter with exaggerated gestures; another depicts beachgoers. **The bottom half** is a large advertisement for "Associated Studios of Cartooning," promoting correspondence courses in animation and cartooning for aspiring artists, with testimonials about earning potential. The page is primarily entertainment and advertising rather than political satire.

ODE TO SPRING--AND ALL THAT Er—Spring! . . You perfectly priceless old thing! Amateur Knights of the Pencil I'm frightfully bucked at the signs that one sees; The jolly old sap in the topping old =S trees; The priceless old lilac, and that sort of rot; It jolly well cheers a chap up, does it not? It's so fearfully bright; So amazingly right, And one feels as one feels if one got rather tight. There's a tang in the air, If you know what I mean, And the grass, as it were, Is so frightfully green. We shall soon have the jolly old bee on the wing— Er—Spring. Old fruit! You've given old Winter the boot. The voice of the tailor is heard in the land, (1 wonder what my rotten credit will stand?)
