The Bab Ballads, with Which Are Included Songs of a Savoyard, is a collection of humorous poems and songs by W. S. Gilbert, first published in 1924. This work showcases Gilbert's signature wit and parody, often addressing social conventions and human eccentricities through playful verse. The collection includes the poem 'Captain Reece,' which humorously explores the absurdity of a captain's crew encouraging him to marry for their amusement. Gilbert's engaging style and clever rhymes make this a notable contribution to English humorous poetry.
