Great, Keiva! And keeping sorta on the same theme:
A CAUTION TO EVERYBODY
by Ogden Nash
Consider the auk;
Becoming extinct because he forgot how to fly, and could
only walk.
Consider man, who may well become extinct
Because he forgot how to walk and learned how to fly before
he thinked.
And does this ring anybody's bell?:
THE ASP
Whenever I behold an asp,
I can't suppress a startled gasp,
I do not charge the asp with matricide,
But what about her Cleopatricide?
Ogden Nash
And for "someone" with an April birthday:
ALWAYS MARRY AN APRIL GIRL
Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms,
April golden, April cloudy,
Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
April soft in flowered languor,
April cold with sudden anger,
Ever changing, ever true--
I love April, I love you.
Ogden Nash
REFLECTION ON INGENUITY
Here's a good rule of thumb;
Too clever is dumb.
Ogden Nash
