Ogden Nash sounds a bit odd anyway.

So right Gershon. First God is not Odd he is perfect as perfect can ever be. The Poem should be if I may, How odd is Ogden Nash to suggest God is Odd for choosing who God chose and are Dear to God's heart, him God being one of them? Gershon Ogden Nash should stick to his Cow poem he's much better off doing so. Your perspective and Poem is right on. Thanks for sharing my friend...
