Ode to Ogden

Nash wrote four line limicks --
The change gave him some kicks.
Some thought them too short
But less rhyme made them quicks.

When I use Ogden’s form,
With less than is my norm,
Thoughts must be kept small --
Just a minor brainstorm.

But it’s good exercise
To hold thoughts down in size.
Concise sounds like smart
When none knows otherwise.
