Rubaiyat Of A Motor Car (1906)

By Carolyn Wells

Book Overview

""Rubaiyat of a Motor Car"" is a collection of poems written by Carolyn Wells in 1906. The poems are inspired by the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, but instead of contemplating life, death, and the universe, Wells contemplates the joys and challenges of driving a motor car. The poems are witty, humorous, and full of puns and wordplay. They cover topics such as the thrill of driving, the frustrations of traffic, and the perils of car accidents. The book is a delightful read for anyone who loves cars, poetry, or both. It is a unique and charming contribution to the literature of the early automobile era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
