FCB # 164 Poet's Corner

 

Ogden Nash [1902-1971] was born in the USA and was a writer of children's books and a poet infamous for his short pithy poems suitable for children of all ages. We had a couple at the January folk club:

The Duck

Behold the duck.

It does not cluck.

A cluck it lacks.

It quacks.

It is specially fond

Of a puddle or pond.

When it dines or sups,

It bottoms ups.

Ogden Nash

                                     

                                                    and 

 

The Cow

The cow is of the bovine ilk;

One end is moo, the other, milk.
