Image
The song of canaries Never varies, And when they're moulting They're pretty revolting.
Ogden Nash
Image
There are two kinds of people who blow through life like a breeze, And one kind is gossipers, and the other kind is gossipees.
Ogden Nash
Image
When there are monsters there are miracles.
Ogden Nash
Image
In real life, it takes only one to make a quarrel.
Ogden Nash
Image
The oboe's a horn made of wood. I'd play you a tune if I could, But the reeds are a pain, And the fingering's insane. It's the ill wind that no one blows good.
Ogden Nash
Image
Husbands are things that wives have to get used to putting up with. And with whom they breakfast with and sup with. They interfere with the discipline of nurseries, And forget anniversaries, And when they have been particularly remiss, They think they can cure everything with a great big kiss.
Ogden Nash
Image
Certainly there are lots of things in life that money won't buy, but it's very funny- Have you ever tried to buy them without money?
Ogden Nash
Image
He without benefit of scruples - His fun and money soon quadruples.
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
Image
I'm like a backward berry, Unripened on the vine, For all my friends are fifty, And I'm only forty-nine.
Ogden Nash
Image
Humor is hope's companion in arms. It is not brash, it is not cheap, it is not heartless. Among other things I think humor is a shield, a weapon, a survival kit.
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
There once was an umpire whose vision Was cause for abuse and derision He remarked in surprise, 'Why pick on my eyes? It's my heart that dictates my decision.'
Ogden Nash
Image
All husbands are alike, but they have different faces so you can tell them apart.
Ogden Nash
Image
Marriage is the only known example of the happy meeting of the immovable object and the irresistible force.
Ogden Nash
Image
At another year I would not boggle Except that when I jog I joggle.
Ogden Nash
Image
Time is like the ocean, always there, always different.
Ogden Nash
Image
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
Image
The Preacher, the Politicain, the Teacher, Were each of them once a kiddie. A child, indeed, is a wonderful creature. Do I want one? God Forbiddie!
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?
