Minor problem. I'm not sure I can quote it exactly. But that doesn't mean I won't try.
It went something like this:

A panther is like a leopard,
Except it hasn't been peppered.
If a panther calls,
Don't anther.

It seems like there was more to it than that, but you get the idea. .... Does anybody have a copy of the complete works of Ogden Nash?
