Ogden Nash Drawings!
Today,I did some drawings based on some poems that Ogden Nash did.Here are the drawings and underneath,the poem itself:
The Llama.
The one-l lama,
He's a priest.
The two-l llama,
He's a beast.
And I will bet
A silk pajama
There isn't any
Three-l lllama
He's a priest.
The two-l llama,
He's a beast.
And I will bet
A silk pajama
There isn't any
Three-l lllama
The Cobra.
This creature fills it's mouth with venom,
And walks upon his duodenum
He who attempts to tease the cobra,
Is soon a sadder he,and sobra.
The Cow.
The cow is of the bovine ilk,
One end is moo,the other,milk.
The Phoenix.
Deep in the study
Of eugenics
We find the fabled
Fowl,the phoenix.
The wisest bird,
As ever was,
Rejecting other,
Mas and Pas,
It lays one egg.
Not ten or twelve,
And when it's hatched,
Out pops itselve.
The Wapiti.
There goes the wapiti,
Hippety-Hoppety!
The Pig.
The pig, if I am not mistaken,
Supplies us with sausage, ham, and bacon.
Let others say his heart is big -
I call it stupid of the pig.
The Wombat.
The wombat lives across the seas,
Among the far Antipodes,
or then again, on missionaries;
He may exist on nuts and berries,
Conclusive knowledge of his moods,
His distant habitat precludes
But I would not engage the wombat
In any form of mortal combat.
The Lion.
Oh, weep for Mr. and Mrs. Bryan!
He was eaten by a lion;
Following which, the lion's lioness
Up and swallowed Bryan's Bryaness.
The Porcupine.
Any hound a porcupine nudges Can't be blamed for harboring grudges. I know one hound who laughed all winter At a porcupine that sat on a splinter.
The Fly.
God in his wisdom made the fly
And then forgot to tell us why.
Hope you liked it!
From,
Maya.
