The book is the collection of poems. This is a subset of the first twelve poems from the second collection of Gilbertâs âBab Balladsâ â light verses poking fun at the life and people of his time in Gilbertâs unique âtopsy-turveyâ style. The epitaph on his memorial on the Victoria Embankment in London is âHIS FOE WAS FOLLY AND HIS WEAPON WITâ, an epitaph amply exemplified in these verses.
