Image
Winter is the king of showmen, Turning tree stumps into snowmen And houses into birthday cakes And spreading sugar over lakes. Smooth and clean and frosty white, The world looks good enough to bite. That’s the season to be young, Catching snowflakes on your tongue. Snow is snowy when it’s snowing, I’m sorry it’s slushy when it’s going.
Ogden Nash

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

Ogden Nash
Image
Maybe I couldn't be dafter, But I keep wondering if this time we settle our differences before a war instead of after.
Ogden Nash
Image
Then here's to the heartening wassail, Wherever good fellows are found Be its master instead of its vassal, and order the glasses around.

Image
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
Image
He without benefit of scruples - His fun and money soon quadruples.
Ogden Nash
Image
The truth I do not stretch or shove When I state the dog is full of love. I've also proved, by actual test, A wet dog is the lovingest.
Ogden Nash
Image
There is something about a martini, Ere the dining and dancing begin, And to tell you the truth, It is not the vermouth- I think that perhaps it's the gin.
Ogden Nash
Image
The further through life I drift the more obvious it becomes that I am lacking in thrift.

Bankers are just like everybody else, except richer.

The dog is man's best friend. He has a tail on one end. Up in front he has teeth. And four legs underneath.

I was born a jackdaw why should I try to be an owl?
