Thou Shall Obey Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash was a
prophet, his words
sewn in verses like chapters
of the bible,
just as a priest who reads
Genesis, finding God in
illuminated passages
feels more purposeful in his life,
so too does a poet who reads
Ogden Nash feel a new
power in his craft,
in his slant rhymes
his rhymes which were barely
rhymes which were neat
in these, here, Ogden Nash displayed
absolute truths for the disciples
of Literature.
