This is my dream, It is my own dream, I dreamt it. I dreamt that my hair was kempt. Then I dreamt that my true love unkempt it.

I'd rather be a great bad poet than a good bad poet.
Ogden Nash
Image
Winter is the king of showmen, Turning tree stumps into snowmen And houses into birthday cakes And spreading sugar over lakes. Smooth and clean and frosty white, The world looks good enough to bite. That’s the season to be young, Catching snowflakes on your tongue. Snow is snowy when it’s snowing, I’m sorry it’s slushy when it’s going.
Ogden Nash
Image
A husband is a man who two minutes after his head touches the pillow is snoring like an overloaded omnibus.
Ogden Nash
Image
He without benefit of scruples - His fun and money soon quadruples.
Ogden Nash
Image
Here's a toast to the roast that good fellowship lends, with the sparkle of beer and wine May its sentiment always be deeper, my friends, than the foam at the top of the stein. Then here's to the heartening wassail, wherever good fellows are found Be its master instead of its vassal, and order the glasses around.
Ogden Nash
Image
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

Another good thing about gossip is that it is within everybody's reach, And it is much more interesting than any other form of speech.
Ogden Nash
Image
Do you think my mind is maturing late, or simply rotted early?
Ogden Nash

Time is like the ocean, always there, always different.

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
Image
There is something about a martini, Ere the dining and dancing begin, And to tell you the truth, It is not the vermouth- I think that perhaps it's the gin.
Ogden Nash
Image
Sleep is perverse as human nature, Sleep is perverse as legislature.... So people who go to bed to sleep Must count French premiers or sheep, And people who ought to arise from bed Yawn and go back to sleep instead.
Ogden Nash
Image
I was born a jackdaw why should I try to be an owl?
Ogden Nash
Image
The song of canaries Never varies, And when they're moulting They're pretty revolting.
Ogden Nash
Image
In the world of mules there are no rules.
Ogden Nash
Image
Some hate broccoli, some hate bacon I hate having my picture taken. How can your family claim to love you And then demand a picture of you?
Ogden Nash
Image
When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window.
Ogden Nash
Image
Nobody agrees with anybody else anyhow, but adults conceal it and infants show it.
Ogden Nash
Image
I myself am more and more inclined to agree with Omar and Satchel Paige as I grow older: Don't try to rewrite what the moving finger has writ, and don't ever look over your shoulder.
