Hee. A famous, pithy poem by Ogden (best, lamest first name ever) Nash.
Everyone has heard this, perhaps unlinked to its author. Although only seven words long, it has lasting power because it contains a truth. It might have conveyed that truth in harsh, damning language, but instead because it is written so briefly, it becomes funny with nary a word of judgment.
Who doesn't love this poem?
Favorite line: the whole darn thing.
