What you’re looking at
This page contains three brief pieces of satirical content: 1. **"Oh Sprinkle Me With Dew!"** - A poem about reconciliation between a couple. A man apologizes for harsh words spoken the previous night; flowers he sent her led to their reunion. The final stanza mocks romantic conventions with a cynical twist. 2. **"The Modern Girl"** - A one-liner joke contrasting traditional sentimentality with contemporary attitudes. A woman rejects the romantic notion of receiving flowers at her funeral, demanding flowers while living instead—satirizing shifting social values about materialism and instant gratification. 3. **"Printer's Note"** - A humorous editor's aside describing the magazine's boss leaving for Hawaii after learning Whiz Bang has the largest circulation among 25-cent magazines, mixing boasting with comedic exaggeration about his vacation plans.
