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.
Ogden Nash
Image
Good wine needs no bush, And perhaps products that people really want Need no hard-sell or soft-sell TV push. Why not? Look at pot.
Ogden Nash
Image
I drink because she nags, she said I nag because he drinks. But if the truth be known to you, He's a lush and she's a shrew.
