If you play Scrabble, keep a copy of this book nearby.

This is a collection of the best of Ogdenisms over 30 years. I like his short verses, as I can remember them when I am describing Ogden Nash to people. This book has hundreds of pages with more verses than pages. He never has problems with acquiring rhyming words, even though the dictionaries fall short of containing them. This is the American way with English. I learned proper English from all the Ogdenisms. So, grammar editors, eat your heart out. When you play Scrabble, keep a copy of this next to the word-deficient dictionary.
