This little poem (5 syllables!) by Ogden Nash is an epigram on that bit of green that "decorates" your plate at restaurants. The title is full of pomp (and at 8 syllables is almost double the length of the poem) and I don't know where (but doubt if) the original reflections on parsley are to be found.
Are all epigrams poems? How is this epigram a poem? Or is it a poem which I am falsely calling an epigram?
What is a poem is such a difficult question to satisfactorily answer. Maybe that will be a good post for a later date.
Favorite line: "Parsley" (hahha)
