The opening of this work introduces a variety of poems that criticize and celebrate different aspects of life and human behavior. For example, "The Clucking Hen" uses the metaphor of a hen scratching for food to illustrate the futility of some human endeavors, while "The Milkman" depicts the hard life of a milkman laboring diligently amidst the indifference of customers.
