Mae West or Bust


There is an unusual ribald poetry book called “Rowdy Rhymes” -- playfully illustrated by John Barron. Published by Peter Pauper Press during the 1950s, the 62-page hardcover includes unconventional verse such as: Mae West’s Bust; Twin Buttes; Her Mother Never Told Her; The Saga of Rex (a dog and his urination habits); Roll Your Leg Over; The Old Backhouse (outhouse); Ballad of Yukon Jake; the Quartermaster Song; and other silly stanzas.
