These humorous/nonsense poems are an absolute blast to read. I read many of them as a child, and I love hearing them again. I especially enjoyed the one about mama's nerves. I remember reading many of the poems as a child in "Where the Sidewalk Ends" and "A Light in the Attic." I always hated writing poetry as a child, but I could have spent hours upon hours reading these nonsense poems. The poems are nice to calm your nerves on a busy day or just relax on a lazy day. Even if you only have a few minutes, I would highly recommend keeping a book of humorous poems near you so that you can whip it out and brighten your day just a little. I have never done so myself, but I believe I will be putting that into practice now.
