| The Master Quipster, Ogden Nash |
Ode to Odes
'Tis hard to create an ode
When my brain is growing mold.
The meter and rhyme--
I run out of time,
When the meter
Is sweeter
Than the rhyme
Is fine.
The sage, Ogden Nash
Knew when to slash
If the words he had
Smelled rather bad
And what he needed
Was better heeded.
So, Dear Odgen,
To quote such an odd one:
Candy is dandy
But liquor is quicker.
This is mine:
Dark chocolate is divine
When eaten with red wine.
Please note: I am not a drinker, but I do remember in days gone by.
