I have read very little of Ogden Nash. But I chanced upon this today and makes me want to read him cover to cover !
When called by a panther,
Don’t anther.– “The Panther”

Your preference for Nash is admirable and I’ve noted in a post on <a href=”http://blog.ogdennash.org/2008/01/it-only-takes-couple-lines.html where I report on the reach and influence of Ogden Nash on contemporary life.
Cheers!

Dear John,
To your place on the web,
I did surf upon
Memories of Mr. Nash
Preserved amongst electrons.
Glorious.
Your hobby shines out as noble and curious
To keep alive that ol’ bum hilarious
Whilst I would gladly continue
With my rhyme, Oh so sunkissed
A certain American soul threatens from above
“Cease and desist”.

Shoury,
Light verse
Will save the universe
Thank for encouragement
and nashesquian embellishment
Tho I agree that emulation precisely
Is best done concisely

This is the third (or the fourth ?) time I’m hearing Ogden Nash in the last two weeks. I think it is a sign…
…that tells me what I should read next.

Lavanya,
I can assure you, *you* won’t be disappointed.
