When it comes to writing
Both comments and verse
It’s a really good practice
To try to be terse.
I’m not too successful
At comment or verse
When it comes to succinct
I couldn’t be worse.

A wonderful bird is the pelican.
His beak can hold more than his belly can.
He can hold in his beak
Enough food for a week,
And I don’t understand how in the world he can do it.
Love it!!
I’ve always loved that limerick, and discovered just this AM (while trying to remember the real last line), that it’s NOT by Ogden Nash, which I had always thought/assumed. Apparently, it was penned – in 1910 – by a guy named Dixon Lanier Merritt, a newspaper editor for the Tennessean (Nashville).
