You will delight in Ogden Nash; he is worth the time and worth the cash

I have a few of the rimes in other Ogden books. But I could not turn down “650 Rhymes, Verses, Lyrics, and Poems.”

There is a nice short introduction by Archibald MacLeish worth reading then dive in till your fingers get pruney.

The book is divided into fifteen chapters as different subjects with the names of each item listed under each chapter.

I find myself reading from front to back.

Ogden taught me how English is supposed to work for you.
