Inspired by OGDEN NASH - a) NASH's LIMERICKS

SATIRE COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio and Dr. GH, March 2020, updated February 2022.

Authors' Note:  Ogden Nash, the prolific humor contributor to the New Yorker, and author of many compendia of humorous poetry, has inspired countless wannabe authors, including the present writing-team. His short poems, often anthropomorphic comments on the lives and habits of animals, have been imitated but seldom equaled.  Today's poetic offering by GC and Dr. GH relate to a popular near-limerick, whose authorship has been attributed incorrectly to ON. But, Nash did contribute a number of classics to the limerick genre, and these are displayed further down in the post.

HERE ARE SOME OF NASH'S ACTUAL LIMERICKS
