Poetry

From an ad, I was reminded of the poetry and word gymnastics of Ogden Nash.  I spent quite a bit of time enjoying his silly poems like "The Strange Case of Mr. Donnybrooks's Boredom".  One of his poems I liked so much, I memorized it:

If called by a panther,

Don't anther!

Now, aren't you glad you read that?  Just a moment of reading and it may have saved you a serious injury or worse.

It is Daisy Goodwin whose books "101 Poems that Could Save Your Life" and "Poems to Get You Through the Day (and the Night)" got me into poetry memories.
