Ogden Nash

I love my copy of this book: Hardcover, dark red with gold print, missing the dust jacket, published by Little Brown and Company in Boston, in 1940.

Contains an inscription on the title page: "To Evelyn: So that Ogden's use may remind you of my abuse of the language- Steve, 1940."

Nash was a really clever and talented guy, almost all of these poems have at least some lines that will make you smile; some poems are just brilliant.

Crazy rhyme schemes, the occasional made up word. Funny and lots of fun.

Postscript: Ogden Nash was on a U.S. stamp, it was the first stamp to ever contain the word SEX. Awesome!
