“To bury these, to christen those,<br>
And marry such fond folks who chose<br>
To change the tenor of their life<br>
And risk the matrimonial strife.”<br> <br>

This was the humdrum life of Dr. Syntax before he set out on his bizarre and hilarious adventures, presented here in the form of satirical poem in 26 cantos. It’s a lot of fun!<br />
