“The golfer is as strange a beast
As ever roamed the earth;
On daily sorrow doth he feast,
And ghastly is his mirth.
...
So, bridesmaids, weep for the golfer's wife,
And shun her dreary fate,
For the lighthouse keeper sees more life
Than the golfer's lonely mate.”
― Ogden Nash, Many Long Years Ago

“Senator Smoot is an institute
Not to be bribed with pelf;
He guards our homes from erotic tomes
By reading them all himself.”
― Ogden Nash

“I read to you from the P-R encyclopedia. I read you the entry on 'protons'. And you listened with your eyes so wide! Your mother said, 'You're traumatizing the child by reading to her about protons. No baby needs to hear about protons.' But you did. You needed to hear about protons. You stood up in your crib and held on to the bars and listened to me with your eyes all big and bright. Positive-charged protons. You were fascinated. From the beginning, you were fascinated, and that is a very good thing to be in this world.”
― Kate DiCamillo, Walker Books Ltd Ferris.
