Ogden Nash

Reflections on Ice-Breaking

Candy is dandy,

But liquor

Is quicker.

The Perfect Husband

He tells you when you've got on


too much lipstick


And helps you with your girdle


when your hips stick.

A Word to Husbands

To keep your marriage brimming

With love in the loving cup,

Whenever you’re wrong, admit it,

Whenever you’re right, shut up.

Fleas

Adam

Had ‘em

Grandpa Is Ashamed

A child need not be too clever

To learn that “Later, dear” means “Never!”

Common Sense

Why did the Lord give us agility,

If not to evade responsibility?
