Arthur Guiterman (; November 20, 1871 – January 11, 1943) was an American writer best known for his humorous poems. ==Life and career== Guiterman was born of American parents in Vienna, graduated from the College of the City of New York in 1891, and was married in 1909 to Vida Lindo. He was an editor of the ''Woman's Home Companion'' and the ''Literary Digest''. In 1910, he cofounded the Poetry Society of America, and later served as its president in 1925–26.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Guiterman, Arthur (1871 – 1943) )〕 An example of his humour is a poem that talks about modern progress, with rhyming couplets such as "First dentistry was painless;/Then bicycles were chainless". It ends on a more telling note: Another Guiterman poem, "''On the Vanity of Earthly Greatness''", illustrates the philosophy also incorporated into his humorous rhymes:〔http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/24.html On the Vanity of Earthly Greatness〕 Perhaps his most-quoted poem is his clever 1936 "DARling" satire about the Daughters of the American Revolution (and three other clubs open only to descendants of pre-Independence British Americans). That poem has a unique, intricate, strongly dramatic rhythmical structure...as analyzed, line by line and syllable by syllable, below. The number of syllables in each line is shown in ().
