Welcome back to our regularly scheduled mischiefery with a mashery of Ogden Nashery (illustrated)! Tonight we range a little further than our usual source, as noted below. Your humble diarist has discovered a few choice pomes to share with you. And it is an Open Thread, so please feel free to discuss and post your favorite illustrated pomes in the Comments also too! And have a very Happy New Year, Peeps and Aminals!
NEW YEAR’S EVE
Tonight’s December thirty-first,
Something is about to burst.
The clock is crouching, dark and small,
Like a time bomb in the hall.
Hark, it's midnight, children dear.
Duck! Here comes another year!
* From Ogden Nash’s collection Collected Verse From 1929 On
