Synopsis: The Cape Cod Lampoon (1979) by Noel W. Beyle is a humorous look at life, people, and customs on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The book takes a lighthearted, satirical approach to the region's distinctive character, poking fun at its local traditions, residents, summer visitors, and the sometimes amusing contrast between year-round Cape life and the seasonal influx of vacationers.

With its subtitle, "A Cross Section of Humorous Happenings and Ticklish Tales About the Commonwealth's Coveted Cape, Birthplace of Route Six," the book presents a collection of local humor, amusing observations, anecdotes, and entertaining stories celebrating the quirks and personality of Cape Cod. Written in Beyle's characteristic witty, playful style and accompanied by illustrations by Billy E. Barnes, William Canty, Kathryn M. Meyers, and James E. Owens, this 112-page booklet offers an affectionate and often irreverent portrait of one of Massachusetts' best-known regions. It is a lighthearted piece of regional Americana reflecting Cape Cod life and culture in the late 1970s.
