It seems like an oxymoron, but there are many other books that have more substance than this "Light" book of light verse. Sure, this book has a smattering of selections from the light verse legends like Nash and Parker. However, a quick search will show many other books with more legendary light verse, and less, or no examples from unknowns (such as the editor who insists on including his banal efforts). I recommend you bypass this books for better examples of the genre.
