Ogden Nash and me

Crisp funny poem:

The cow is of the bovine ilk;

one end is moo, the other milk.

Another one:

The trouble with a kitten is that

when it grows up, it's always a cat.

Both by the master of light verse: Ogden Nash

Always loved Ogden Nash's crazy poetry. He looks at things from an unexpected angle and strings together unexpected words. The following are my attempts in tribute to him.

Flea at Long Neck

A giraffe was visited by a touring flea,

Who climbed her neck for eternity,

He finally, finally, reached her head,

And signed the postcard in giraffe blood.

Male Chauvinist Pigs?

Dear feminists, don’t you see,

That the swine is not a MCP?

With adoring oinks and kisses,

He shows his respect for the missus.

Party Readymades

Antarctic parties do require,

A formal dinner attire,

But penguins have the advantage,

Of using natural plumage.
