Ogden Nash is one of my favorite poets. He's ridiculous.
"A Word to Husbands"
To keep your marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it;
Whenever you're right, shut up.
---
"Introspective Reflection"
I would live all my life in nonchalance and insouciance
Were it not for making a living, which is rather a nouciance.
---
"Reflection on Icebreaking"
Candy
Is dandy
But liquor
Is quicker.
I had no idea that last one was actually written by a respectable poet and not a fraternity boy.
