Best Nash Poems

I revere the witty verse of Ogden Nash,

   Whose versifications are so waggish and brash!

      His work elicited from the masses many a guffaw.

         Alas, he met his doom after...

The following is me paraphrasing,
John Nash, 
one of the most brilliant, amazing, 
Nobel Prize winning mathematicians;
"My whole life has been numbers of varied equations, 
searching for answers to problems and their solutions,
and in summation I have come to this ultimate conclusion,
It Is Only Through The...

The Following is the poem "Lama" by Ogden Nash


The one l - lama
He's a priest.
The two l - llama
He's a beast.
And I will bet
A silk pajama
There isn't any
Three - L lllama.

My version of the lines Nash missed.

But Mr. Nash
I must insist
On an addition
To your list.

Ogden Nash would often dash
A poem off in a flash
But too many words 
Killed too many birds
And often wound up in the trash

He was surely amusing
But sometimes confusing
Some words I would look up
In order to hook up
Without winding up losing...

Poem I Prepared Reminded Me of Ogden Nash

Rhinoceros may be related  to hippopotamus;
Synonymous and anonymous in a metropolis;
Both together do live;
Each other bath give;
Thought appeared to be purely preposterous.

Have you been laughing yet,
Read my poem with regret;
Live in rafter,
Or hereafter;
A moron like me have...

While through ocean some smooth whale sails
Can people count all of the protruding scales
When whale so wisely went swimming by;
Have you ever seen one when ha was dry?

God granted a whale with a big, long tail
So swimming is be...

It's too bad he left this earth in 1971.
I believe knowing him would have been a lot of fun.
He was born in Rye, New York, but moved frequently.
Baltimore was where he had his longest residency.
He was a panelist on the game show "Masquerade Party"
Ogden proved...

Here's a salute to Poet Ogden Nash,

   Who was notable for being quite brash!

      He was much more wittier

         Than John Greenleaf Whittier,

Nor a lovely form, nor a relevant content, nor sophisticated writing technique. Goosebumps, a cool wave along the spine, a flash of pleasure and the pleasure's aftertaste - a strange feeling akin to a guilty conscience of the handworker who, after a sweet fight with...

I twice shortchanged Warren one of the two “t”s in Buffett. I found Ogden Nash did a fine job with double letters in "The Lama".
That inspired me to write, in apology for slighting Mr. Buffett:

The Buffet

The one-t buffet,
That's a punch, 
Or a place to 
Have your lunch.
