Collection of satyrical poems, it deepens and refines the technique of «3 Grenadieriai» (1926). In the final summary each poem is linked to the parodized poet: Maironis (i.e. Jonas Mačiulis), Faustas Kirša, Liudas Gira, Balys Sruoga, Kazys Binkis, Petras Vaičiūnas, Salys Šemerys, Putinas (i.e. Vincas Mykolaitis-Putinas), Jouazs Tysliava, Juozas Žlabys-Žengė, Tyrų duktė (i.e. Bronė Buivydaitė?), Antanas Rimydis. Šemerys, Rimydis, Žengė, and Tysliava. The list represent in fact a Parnassus of the modern Lithuanian literature, from such a monument like Maironis to younger authors and avant-garde poets like Binkis, Šemeris, Rimidys, Žengė, and Tysliava. At least the poems «Romantika» (the 1st stanza), «Putotos gulbės senai nuskrido» (as «Proemion»), «Ryga-Paryzius-Vilkaviskis-Helsinkis» (as «Suomijoj»), «Paris», and «Afrikoj», first appear in «3 Grenadieriai».
