Guest Poet: Ogden Nash

Always Marry an April Girl

Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms.
April golden, April cloudy,
Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
April soft in flowered languor,
April cold with sudden anger,
Ever changing, ever true --
I love April, I love you.

It seems that there's a lot to this "birth month personality" after all.

FOR OGDEN NASH - I CALL IT: 'NASH-BASH' - 7/23/1998

Ogden bogged in
Nash Bash
Slash gash
sleeve leave
margin chargin'
wider sider
error slippin'
coffee sippin'
loppin' droppin'
crumbs bums
him out
blow snout
glasses lashes
nose pose
prose goes
thin when
man stand
tall all
slop mop
brow now
bag sag
pant slant
lean+bean
wrinkle crinkle
paper caper
limerick sick
slave save
ribbon glib on
rhyme time
for more
later cater
to reader
creed or
pun fun
none done
better sweater
ravel gravel
pile smile
dig rig
dump slump
slouch couch
choose snooze
snore more
best test
read seed
thought wrought
naught fought
lot bought
smile while
write right
snappy happy
rend' end
