Ogden Nash

There have been so many wonderful writers in the world,

I just discovered Ogden Nash, maybe most famous for

the line "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker."

 Nash may have been known primarily for wit, wordplay,

and humor, but one of the first poems I ran across is

"The Anniversary."

My relationship almost crumbled at the 20-year mark,

but like this poem, it was "comely in courage" and...

"Raise twenty-one cheers

To the silly young years

While I sit out the dance

With my dearest of dears."

Whoa, I need to read more Nash :).
