The Termite by Ogden Nash

[Gogi]

Some primal termite knocked on wood,
Tasted it and found it good.

And that is why your cousin May
fell through the parlor floor today.

1. I LOVE Ogden Nash! Thanks! Read on:

Everybody Tells Me Everything
by Ogden Nash

I find it very difficult to enthuse
Over the current news.
Just when you think that at least the outlook is so black that it can grow no blacker, it worsens,
And that is why I do not like the news, because there has never been an era when so many things were going so right for so many of the wrong persons.

Wise man, IMHO.:shrug:

The cow is of the bovine ilk;
One end is moo, the other, milk.
