Why did the Lord give use so much quickness unless it was to avoid responsibility?
Ogden Nash
Here is a pen and here is a pencil, here's a typewriter, here's a stencil, here's a list of today's appointments, and all the flies in all the ointments, the daily woes that a man endures -- take them, George, they're yours!
Ogden Nash
Smallpox is natural vaccine ain't.
Ogden Nash
The dog is man's best friend. He has a tail on one end. Up in front he has teeth. And four legs underneath.
Ogden Nash
You can take it as understood, That your luck changes only if it's good.
Ogden Nash
The Pig, if I am not mistaken, Supplies us sausage, ham, and Bacon. Let others say his heart is big, I think it stupid of the Pig.
Ogden Nash
The doctor gets you when you're born, The preacher, when you marry, And the lawyer lurks with costly clerks If too much on you carry. Professional men, they have no cares Whatever happens, they get theirs.

Senescence begins And middle-age ends The day your descendants Outnumber your friends
Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash
Marriage is the only known example of the happy meeting of the immovable object and the irresistible force.
Ogden Nash
Indeed, everybody wants to be a wow, But not everybody knows exactly how.
Ogden Nash
People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up.
Ogden Nash
The truth I do not stretch or shove When I state the dog is full of love. I've also proved, by actual test, A wet dog is the lovingest.
Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash
Celery, raw, Develops the jaw
Ogden Nash
Love is a word that is constantly heard, Hate is a word that is not. Love, I am told, is more precious than gold. Love, I have read, is hot. But hate is the verb that to me is superb, And Love but a drug on the mart. Any kiddie in school can love like a fool, But Hating, my boy, is an Art.
Ogden Nash
So I hope husbands and wives will continue to debate and combat Over everything debatable and combatable Because I believe a little incompatibility is the spice of life Particularly if he has income and she is pattable.
Ogden Nash
Some one invented the telephone, And interrupted a nation's slumbers, Ringing wrong but similar numbers.
Ogden Nash
Authors of all races, be they Greeks, Romans, Teutons, or Celts, Can't seem just to say anything is the thing it is but have to go out of their way to say that it is like something else.
Ogden Nash
The more you earn, the less you keep, And now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to take, If the tax-collector hasn't got it before I wake.
