Rhinoceros friends!

I love Ogden Nash, he is absotively posilutely hillarious. He has such a talent for...funniness. So here are a number of poems of his pen.


The Firefly

"The firefly's flame Is something for which science has no name I can think of nothing eerier Than flying around with an unidentified glow on a person's posteerier. "


Further Reflections on Parsley

"Parsley Is gharsley. "


The Purist

"I give you now Professor Twist,A conscientious scientist,Trustees exclaimed, "He never bungles!"And sent him off to distant jungles.Camped on a tropic riverside,One day he missed his loving bride.She had, the guide informed him later,Been eaten by an alligator.Professor Twist could not but smile."You mean," he said, "a crocodile."


Reflections on Ice-Breaking

"Candy Is Dandy But liquor Is quicker."


The Abominable Snowman

"I’ve never seen an abominable snowman, I’m hoping not to see one, I’m also hoping, if I do, That it will be a wee one. "


The Termite

"Some primal termite knocked on wood And tasted it, and found it good! And that is why your Cousin May Fell through the parlor floor today. "


The Ant

"The ant has made himself illustriousThrough constant industry industrious.So what?Would you be calm and placidIf you were full of formic acid?"
