The Termite
– Ogden Nash
Some primal termite knocked on wood
And tasted it, and found it good!
And that is why your Cousin May
Fell through the parlor floor today.
I think Ogden Nash does not get enough airtime. I love this man’s wit and use of words… shall put more up here as time permits. (and thank god, I don’t have any termites in my house! Nor do I have a Cousin May either.. phew. ;~)
