I will not sell my daily swoon
For all the rubies in Rangoon.
Light verse need not be just silly. Nash, who worked as an editor at Doubleday, was famous because of the intelligence behind many of his phrasings, such as--
I think that I shall never see
a billboard lovely as a tree,
Indeed, unless the billboards fall
Indeed, unless the billboards fall
I'll never see a tree at all.
And of course, the need for
Laughter is a universal aspect of human society.
Its needed mead against human ferocity.
