ByDavidSlattery: 'The Cow'
The cow is of the bovine ilk;
One end is moo, the other, milk
Ogden Nash RIP today 1971.
ByDavidSlattery: 'The Pig'

Let others say his heart is big—
I call it stupid of the pig.
Ogden Nash RIP today 1971.

That’s how much I love you.

The dromedary, two;
Or else the other way around.

Except as meals.
And the way they feels.
Ogden Nash RIP today 1971.
ByDavidSlattery: 'The Rhinoceros'
The rhino is a homely beast,
For human eyes he’s not a feast.
Farewell, farewell, you old rhinoceros,
I’ll stare at something less prepoceros.
Ogden Nash RIP today 1971.
ByDavidSlattery: The Hippopotamus
Behold the hippopotamus!
We laugh at how he looks to us
And yet in moments dank and grim
I wonder how we look to him.
Peace peace thou hippopotamus!
We really look all right to us
As you no doubt delight the eye
Of other hippopotami.
