I no longer like Nash, At him teeth gnash; A chance and his head bash For being grossly rash In his spending of cash Over a bought sash All his reasons “Thrash” To him like a child trash! I shall no longer see Nash, For it shall end in a crash, Now quite sure he’s brash… Indeed, this way Nash To another I’ll dash!...

I wonder whether the well-known poets of yore Read poems around a potbelly stove in a local store, Whether they entered contests sponsored by a peer Or discussed poetry with a friend over a cold beer? Do you think Poe might have rewritten and revised, To make his poems acceptable to an editor’s eyes? Somehow, I think Nash was not oblivious...

Have you been laughing yet, Read my poem with regret; Live in rafter, Or hereafter; A moron like me have met. What you did do was dubious Matter becoming mischievous; Handle with care; Even...

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 himself, swears "never again!" - that's a true sign of...

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. The two-t Buffett? He never knew  A fiscal crunch.  And I will bet  A silken...
