My mother enjoyed the poetry of Ogden Nash, and he was often quoted in our house. She liked his wit, brevity, and, though he could be sardonic at times, he exuded an optimistic charm. Sometimes my poetry/haiku is flavored a bit Ogden…thanks, mom.
It’s not a question
Of which came first, but really—
That they came at all
I bow my head in shame and admit it is some years since I heard the name “Ogden Nash” but now you’ve prompted me to go and look him up.
Ogden Nash rings a very familiar bell. Guess I’m older than dirt. Thank you!!
