Something to make you smile

THE PANTHER
Ogden Nash

The panther is like a leopard,
Except it hasn't been peppered,
Should you behold a panther crouch,
Prepare to say Ouch.
Better yet, if called by a panther,
Don't anther.


THE EEL
Ogden Nash

I don't mind eels
Except as meals.
And the way they feels.

And people wonder why I actively avoided "Poetry as Lit" in college...

The Perfect Husband (also by Nash)

He tells you when you've got on too much lipstick
And helps you with your girdle when your hips stick.
