The Termite

 

The Termite

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.

 

-Ogden Nash

 

OK, obviously feeling a bit lazy this evening, but if you didn't already know the poem, you should! And if you do, it likely amuses you to be reminded, right?

 

Good Intentions is Ogden Nash's book of 1942.
