Pondering the zoo and Ogden Nash too

(Frederic) Ogden Nash was born in Rye, New York, on August 19, 1902.
Died in Baltimore, Maryland, on May 19, 1971

I unique advantage Ogden has is not needing to have a riming dictionary. If the appropriate word did not appear, he would appropriate a word.

This book is a great collection of the best of Ogden as he observed Zoo's life.
Let us not overlook the addition of Illustrations by the famous Swiss artist, sculptor, illustrator, and animator, Etienne Delessert.
