Devilish verse and witty quips haunt the Pex terville Review
A satirical scene unfolds in the Pex terville Review office with a dreamy poetess presenting morbid verse to a devilish editor. The exchange spirals through rhymes and risqué lines, ending in comic disarray as the poetess flees and the devil recalls past mischiefs. The piece shifts to a separate note about Robert G. Ingersoll’s delayed dinner invitation and a practical guide on arranging a sleeping room with proper furnishings and decor.
