Here are some quotes that I ran across this afternoon:
Age was once young
Youth was never old.
Some scientists may at last disperse
The mysteries of the universe.
But me, I cannot think
Why pork is white and ham is pink.

I remember him from the TV shows. I think he was married to a celebrity. Maybe Betty White?

Home is Heaven,

But... I like an orgy
Once in a while.
A very strange bird is the Pelican;
His beak can hold more than his Belly can.

A very strange bird is the Pelican;
His beak can hold more than his Belly can.
...In his beak's enough food for a week
I don't know how in the hell he can

And we used to refer to the reformatory as "Byoonie"

Ironically, Graham Nash will be appearing at the Vertex Festival in Buena Vista, Colorado on August 6th.
Too bad I can't go because:
1) Never was a huge fan of C,S,N & Y
2) I'm too busy, and most importantly
3) The locals mangle the name of their own town by pronouncing it 'Byoona
Vista'.
Do they not know that a large section of Colorado used to be Mexico once?

Best Ogden Nash poem:
Whales have calves,
Cats have kittens,
Bears have cubs,
Bats have bittens,
Swans have cygnets,
Seals have puppies,
But guppies just have little guppies.
