Ogden Nash we owe you mightly
For your verse compacted tightly
(What I'm struggling with omitting
Is a rhyme that's not quite fitting
Still if you had lived this time of blight
i'm sure you'd rhyme the slang ai-ight)

Nice to see appreciation for a largely forgotten master of the humorous verse. I'm a former SLO resident - bet we know some people in common.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful little post. And I'm in love with the valentine in your hand. xoJ
