God needs your cash
Before you can be overawed?...

Here lies Cornelius Nash
He died amid the Wall Street Crash
No longer being a millionaire 
He stepped off the tower, into thin air...

Had Been Using Braille

when he did write much email
out window would sail

had been bold and brash
very vile was city of Nash
there his dough did stash

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 Nash begets the Nasher
Humored couplets somewhat brasher

Seems these rhymes are wrenched in nature
Clenched, this nomenclature impure

Odd end Ogden, gnashing nashers,
Hence the wincing grimace assures...

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...

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!

Honorable, legendary civil rights pioneer, Diane Nash
A cherished treasure that can't be purchased with cash 

 A great American. An enduring heroine to the nation 
   Her fierce activism helped end racial segregation

The swan can poop while sitting down
on water or on its feet on solid ground.
For this Ogden Nash awarded it a crown.
Yet humans on occasion have been known
to rush to duplicate the feat 
and for expedience not a prize,
rather a desperate need to find a seat
in a restroom stall no one occupies....

Likes are nice,
But Retweets are sweet.

Faves are all the rave,
But Retweets are hard to beat.

(Tribute to the writing style of American poet Ogden Nash and his poem "Reflections on Ice Breaking" written in the year 1931.)...

Who Cares

Write what you feel like
Writing about and who cares
What it all may mean.

Laid back attitude
All of this could be construed
So why fight a feud?

To me, when you combine
together Robert Frost, 
Ogden Nash and Will Rogers
you have a successful way
of coming up with your 
own poetry.

Jim Horn...
