Ten years ago she split the air To seize what she could spy Tonight she bumps against a chair, Betrayed by milky eye. She seems to pant, Time up, time up! My little dog must die, And lie in dust with Hector's pup I So, presently, must I.

Ogden Nash
I am a conscientious man, when I throw rocks at seabirds I leave no tern unstoned.
Ogden Nash
