Englishman Paul Nash
with pastoral art made quite a splash
An artist between two world wars
juxtaposing style by the score
Frederick Ogden Nash
did a lot more than sling hash
his poetical humor knew no bounds
and his writing never failed to astound

HALF AGAIN IS ~ TWICE AS MUCH
AS THE FIRST PART!
Have a good year ~ the last half!!!

Ogden Nash penned these two lines
‘How odd of God
to choose the Jews’
My reply across the times
‘God would never choose
~ a people who would lose’
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 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

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!
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 Equation Of Love
That Truly Gives Our Lives Any Meaning,
whether that love be for someone or for some thing."
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 I should be publicly flogged in a poetry forum! An old joke but still a good one.
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 when bare,
And to fact are now oblivious.
Jim Horn
