He who has never tasted jail Lives well within the legal pale, While he who's served a heavy sentence Renews the racket, not repentance. - Ogden Nash

Some primal termite knocked on wood And tasted it, and found it good! And that is why your Cousin May Fell through the parlor floor today.

Time is timelessness for you; Calendars for the human; What's a year, or thirty, to Loveliness made woman?

A fig for embryo Lohengrins!
I'll open all his safety pins,
I'll pepper his powder, and salt his bottle,
And give him readings from Aristotle.
Sand for his spinach I'll gladly bring,
And Tabasco sauce for his teething ring.
Then perhaps he'll struggle through fire and water
To marry somebody else's daughter.
