Nothing to Eat

Alger primarily wrote children's books, but this one isn't. It's a wicked little satire in verse on the subject of what “nothing to eat” means from the perspective of the idle rich. I got some laughs out of it, but I also had a sense that a great deal of the satire was going right over my head.

A good piece of humorous verse, in the vein of newspaper caricatures with a social point.
