To Ogden Nash My Mentore-
Your rhymes were so geniously simplistly eloquent.
Better than anything before you came, or since you wuent.
They gave new meaning to the word ‘intent’.
I often wonder as I ponder –
If Ogden Nash had lived to be a hundred and ninety-three
the world of poetry would certainly have been blessed
with a masterfully myriadical montage
of wittirhymes and verseilines and perponderings in excessed!
(and he wouldn’t be dead yet either)
Ogden Nash was quite funny
Using words that were quite pun-ny
Instead of writing poems that had no strife
He could have gone out, and got himself a life
What a clever persona was Ogden Nash,
Expounding his truth as well as his trash.
Some works proffered wit,
Some others pure grit,
With most saturated in balderdash.

''A classic poet! ''
Mr.Nash delivers quite nicely
making use of comedy and also being a bit ice-y
He puts it down bluntly
and some poems are quite stunt-ly
I liked couple of poems of Mr Nash which i read.
Ogden Nash was quite funny
Using words that were quite pun-ny
Instead of writing poems that had no strife
He could have gone out, and got himself a life
I like his poem 'The Tale Of Custard The Dragon.' So cute!
