Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash
Happiness is having a scratch for every itch.
Ogden Nash
The camel has a single hump, The dromedary, two Or else the other way around I'm never sure. Are you?
Ogden Nash
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
Nobody agrees with anybody else anyhow, but adults conceal it and infants show it.
Ogden Nash
We love the kindly wind and hail, The jolly thunderbolt, We watch in glee the fairy trail Of ampere, watt, and volt.
Ogden Nash
Neath tile or thatch That man is rich Who has a scratch For every itch.
Ogden Nash
Some one invented the telephone, And interrupted a nation's slumbers, Ringing wrong but similar numbers.
