Ode To Ogden

A brilliant bloke was Ogden Nash,
And I don't say that because he gives me cash;
I've got all the bills I can stash
(Including a volume of Shakespeare's bills
The stuff stuffs my bookshelf which overspills
Even onto my window sills).

But a brilliant bloke was that Ogden
As brilliant now as he was when
He was alive and used to pay
Big bucks for these comments I say.
