Ogden Nash
Image
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
Image
The noblest lord is ushered in By the practicing physician, And the humblest lout is ushered out By a certified mortician. And in between, they find their foyers Alive with summonses from lawyers.
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
Snow is all right while it is snowing it is like inebriation because it is very pleasing when it is coming, but very unpleasing when it is going.
Ogden Nash
Image
Linguistics becomes an ever eerier area, like I feel like I'm in Oz, Just trying to tell it like it was.

Neath tile or thatch That man is rich Who has a scratch For every itch.

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.
