Hey, nice to see your shining face, my friend. (Try a very short one I just posted, titled 'Ogden-ish.') :) gw

one of my favorites is "the bronx? no thonks!" didn't know it was his birthday - thanks for the reminder (and yes, we all do owe him a poem!)

Ha, ha. Never heard that one, Ilene. One of my favorites is this one: "The cow is of the bovine ilk // One end moo, the other milk." Thanks for posting your comment! :) gw

"Like Burns, I have a weakness for the bottle". Ogden Nash was my bro.

So, that makes you about 115+, younger bro... LOL. Yeah, old Ogden was quite the pro...

when his billboards fall, there nothing at all to see...not a tree for miles and miles...but his smile's not lost on thee. Perhaps Ogden Nash was making fun of Joyce Kilmer...perhaps. (Song of the Open Road)

Sounds like you've paid you're debt to Mr. Nash. Now it's my turn...
