Mmm, what's Holmes' "As Funny as I Can" about? Sounds very interesting if you're ranking him up there with Mr.Nash!

Now here's the only Ogden Nash that I can remember offhand.

/ / / The song of canaries
/ / / Never varies,
/ / / And when they're moulting
/ / / They're pretty revolting.

Another bit of poetry comes to mind... I know that we previously determined that "Oh, what a tangled web we weave" was written by Sir Walter Scott in 1808, but for some reason I thought there was another more humorous continuation to that verse, written more recently. Could it have been Ogden Nash who wrote it? Sounds like the sort of thing he'd do.
