Additional quotes by Ogden Nash
First
Let the rockets flash and the cannon thunder,
This child is a marvel, a matchless wonder.
A staggering child, a child astounding,
Dazzling, diaperless, dumfounding,
Stupendous, miraculous, unsurpassed,

Bright as a button, sharp as a thorn,
And the only perfect one ever born.
