YANKEE DOODLES

Poetry for the times -- of essentially national flavor -- in songs, and patriotic, historical, humorous, narrative, whimsical, satirical and philosophical verse. New and old, legendary and well loved, this is an anthology of homeland roots, with a wide appeal for here and now. Not of the highbrow or ""pure poetry"" schools, but of the favorites, longest remembered. A popular selection -- and rightly so.
