The Motley Muse (rhymes for the Times) is a collection of humorous poetry by Harry Graham, written in the early 20th century.

Divided into sections like 'Rhymes for the Times' and 'Club Cantos,' the poems address various subjects, including public transport, wealth, and modern dancing, showcasing clever wordplay and wit.
