Frederick Ogden Nash
did a lot more than sling hash
his poetical humor knew no bounds
and his writing never failed to astound

Setting Ogden Nash Straight

     Ogden Nash penned these two lines
        ‘How odd of God
           to choose the Jews’

     My reply across the times

when i was a sage
would want to take advantage
of poems i manage

while being a sage
would write my poems page by page
which was latest rage

with capacity
poems had much tenacity
for sagacity

had a head with bone (Bonehead)
either against wall would stone
or leave me alone

when he was a priest
together puzzle had pieced
he would be a beast

had been annoyed
horrible hemorrhoid

Thankful For the Pelican and Ogden

May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…
and to begin each day with a word of thanks…
and thoughts of gratitude.

Today I an thankful for the pelican
a bird of whom I have always been somewhat smitten 
and Ogden Nash for writing a poem much better 
than

I Wish I Had Met Ogden Nash

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 to write with great ability.
His collections of poems are absolutely

Oh Ogden, Our Ogden

Will one write an Ogden Nash?
A touch o' wink, bit a blink
And then, add a glint o' guile...
Doing all, with wryest smile.

Or could it come out "Mish-Nashed"?
Since Nash, he himself, had mashed
His isms into witticisms
Leaving most in a mad dash -

Poem I Prepared Reminded Me of Ogden Nash

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 met.

What you did do was dubious
Matter becoming mischievous;
Handle with care;
Even

An Aftertaste

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

The Buffett

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

Poet Ogden Nash

Here's a salute to Poet Ogden Nash,

   Who was notable for being quite brash!

      He was much more wittier

         Than John Greenleaf Whittier,

            Concocting reams of clever balderdash!

Ogden Ash

I think that I may never see a
tree's sounds lovely as onomatopoeia

to see, to hear, just too profound
sound beats cool on worded ground

ain't it funny to hear a word
that IS what it is, coolly absurd

you may ask what constitutes onomatopoeia
can't say exactly, but hear it when I see it

With My Apologies To Ogden Nash

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.
The three l - lllama's
Clang and din
Brings cries of “Fire!”
In Brooklyn.



Yes

Ogden Nash

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 consuming infected slaw!

Ogden Nash

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
