Ogden Nash
When I remember bygone days I think how evening follows morn So many I loved were not yet dead, So many I love were not yet born.
Ogden Nash
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
Indeed, everybody wants to be a wow, But not everybody knows exactly how.
