Poems by Ogden Nash
The Lion
... Following which, the lion's lioness ...
The Middle
... So many I loved were not yet dead, ...
The Octopus
... Is those things arms, or is they legs ...
The Ostrich
... Its mouth is wide, its neck is narra ...
The Parent
... Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, ...
The People Upstairs
... When they take a shower, your ceilings leak ...
The Perfect Husband
... He tells you when you've got on ...
The Porcupine
... I know one hound that laughed all winter ...
The Praying Mantis
... From whence arrived the praying mantis ...
The Purist
... She had, the guide informed him later, ...
The Rhinoceros
... Farwell, farewell, you old rhinoceros, ...
The Romantic Age
... Declares she's not too young to wed, ...
The Shrimp
... A shrimp who sought his lady shrimp ...
The Sniffle
... But when Isabel's snivelly ...
The Solitary Huntsman
... No horn proclaims his joyless sport, ...
