Greybeards at Play' is a short collection of humorous poetry by celebrated British writer and social commentator, Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936). Published in 1900, it was Chesterton's first publication. These rhymes and sketches spin witty lyrics around themes such as aestheticism, the philosopher's love of nature, and ill-directed altruism, in true Chestertonian style.
