More quotes by Ogden Nash
To Tom Carlson or his dog-depending on whose taste it best suits.
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
There was a young man of Herne Bay who was making some fireworks one day: but he dropped his cigar in the gunpowder jar. There was a young man of Herne Bay.
Ogden Nash
I'd rather be a great bad poet than a good bad poet.
Ogden Nash
The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late.
Ogden Nash
I don't mind their having a lot of money, and I don't care how they employ it, but I do think that they damn well ought to admit they enjoy it.
Ogden Nash
I think that I shall never see A billboard lovely as a tree. Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all.
Ogden Nash
Happiness is having a scratch for every itch.
Ogden Nash
Some debts are fun while you are acquiring them, But none are fun when you set about retiring them.
Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash
They take the paper and they read the headlines. So they've heard of unemployment and they've heard of bread-lines. And they philanthropically cure them all by getting up a costume charity ball.
Ogden Nash
Then blessings on thee, my afternoon torpor Thou makest a prince of a mental porpor.
Ogden Nash
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.
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
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
Here lies my past, Goodbye I have kissed it Thank you kids, I wouldn't have missed it.
Ogden Nash
The old men know when an old man dies.
Ogden Nash
Why did the Lord give use so much quickness unless it was to avoid responsibility?
Ogden Nash
Some primal termite knocked on wood. And tasted it, and found it good. And that is why your Cousin May Fell through the parlor floor today.
Ogden Nash
Too much Chablis can make you whablis.
Ogden Nash
