Items related to Good Intentions
GOOD INTENTIONS is about you and your wife and your neighbor's dog; about termites and Samson Agonistes and the weather. It is, in fact, about anything that ever crawled into Ogden Nash's cranium. It is easy to tell that Ogden Nash the humorist, the storyteller, the philosopher, the individualist, the observer of the human heart and master of the incredible is concerned about the world and the way we mortals go about messing it up. Just by glancing at a few of the titles (ALLERGY IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD, BRAKEMAN, HAND ME MY NIBLICK, THERE'S ALWAYS AN UBBLEBUB, LATHER AS YOU GO, etc.) you can see how he proposes to straighten everything out. The 70,000 and more readers who roam the streets to find others who should read Ogden Nash will find new ammunition here to carry on their feverish missionary work.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Text/NEW & Brights w/unopend pages. Gilt embossed, red linen boards/VG w/trace wear. DJ/VG w/edge wear, small losses to upper/lower spine edges, & apine discoloration. PO label to fEP. Published w/o ISBN; ISBN subsequently assigned. 180 pgs. Anthology, some first published in periodicals, of selected verse by poet Frederic Ogden Nash (1902 - 1971). Light, droll verse with unconventional, pun-like rhymes and playful use of deliberately mis-spelled words made his verse a great favorite of America. For instance, on foods, how about: "The parsnip, children, I repeat/ Is simply an anemic beet/ Some people call the parsnip edible/ Myself, I find this claim incredible"; "Celery, raw/ Develops the jaw/ But celery, stewed/ Is more quietly chewed"; "Parsley/ Is gharsley"; and, "One cantalope is ripe and lush/ Another's green, another's mush/ I'd buy a lot more cantalope/ If I possessed a fluroscope".
