Swollen-headed William : painful stories and funny… Tekijä: E. V. Lucas
Rather feeble parodies of moralising children’s rhymes, produced as propaganda at a point when the British expected to give Germany a bloody nose by Christmas. In retrospect rather distasteful. Some of the references would be lost on a child but the humour is hardly sophisticated enough to amuse an adult.

The War of the Wenuses: Translated from the… Tekijä: Charles L. Graves
"My wife, in a nickel-plated Russian blouse, trimmed with celluloid pompons, aluminium pantaloons, and a pair of Norwegian Skis, looked magnificent."

That was stupid.. like Spaceballs levels of dumb... it was kinda awesome :) . So a parody of War of the Worlds that came out only weeks/months after the original book.

"My terror had fallen from me like a bath towel."

Highly recommend reading this as close to War of the Worlds as possible. Even so 100 year old comedy isn't always easy to parse.
There's some odd word choices too, it spends a lot of time describing streetnames and stuff which i think are digs at the original.
It breaks the forth wall and does allsorts of absurd parody elements. Its pretty short, certainly worth a look for fans of War of the Worlds.

"I stood there ecstatic, unprogressive, immoderate; while swiftly and surely ungovernable affection for all Wenuses gripped me."
