Poetry meme, all over my list

[rikibeth]

When you see this, post a bit of poetry in your journal.

Here, follybard, a bit of Ogden Nash for you:

The one-l lama, he's a priest;
The two-l llama, he's a beast.
And I will bet
A silk pajama
There isn't any
Three-l lllama.

The author's attention has been directed to a type of conflagration known as a three-alarmer. Phooey.

I did that from memory, so the footnote may not be entirely verbatim. But you get the idea.

The footnote should read:

(I lost my silk pyjama entire
A three-l lllama's a kind of fire.)

Instead of posting a bit of poetry in my own journal, I'll add another bit of doggerel from Ogden Nash:

If called by a panther
Don't anther.

Lovely!

Here's another Nash gem:

"The Wombat lives across the seas,
Amongst the far Antipodes.
He may subsist on nuts and berries
Or, then again, on missionaries.
His distant habitat precludes
Conclusive knowledge of his moods.
But I would not engage the Wombat
In any form of mortal combat."

Hee hee hee! What a llamariffic day!

This was always my very favorite Nash; I think I first encountered it in fifth grade or so, and it *still* makes me giggle....
