The Romance of the Carpet

   This is one fine poem from Robert J. Burdette's The Rise and Fall of the Mustache and Other Hawkeyetems (1877).


   Burdette's book is a collection of humorous stories, poems and jokes that he collected during his time as an orator (1870s stand-up comic).  I'll posting more of these little tidbits up as I skim through this hilarious work.
