The temptation to describe a book by Ogden Nash is his own light-verse style is quickly overcome by mere trial. The simple truth is that he is inimitable. He is funny and he is profound; he is clever and he is surprisingly penetrating; there are always both ryhme and reason in his sensible nonsense. For this Modern Library edition, Ogden Nash has made his selection of 165 of his most representative poems, each one a gem of humour and light-hearted wisdom.
