I dont care what they say about us,anyway!

Exams.
Why don't you just go hang yourself?

I love being in my library. it's my third favorite place in college..not the fancy new one but the one that we have but the old one with the rose garden on the side of the path leading to it. The fancy new one comes fourth on the list because it takes light years to reach it (Its on the sixth floor).
So I was sitting there reading Ogden Nash the day before. He is the poet for all you people who thinks poetry is something that doesn't make much sense and is really dry and abstract (oh what a wrong view to hold). His writing is simple. But that's not the specialty. The specialty lies in his ability to make you smirk, chuckle and wonder at his wit. Please google him. If I were to take his interview, it would be something like this.



Fake interview between Me and Mr.Nash

SM:  There are a lot of budding poets who admire you and try write in your style and sound clever. I must confess, I am one of them.
 ON:Too clever is dumb.
 
SM:Ouch. Okay tell me this, what message would you like to give your female fans?
ON: A girl whose cheeks are covered with paint
        Has an advantage with me over one whose ain't. 

SM: So much for inner beauty. Do all men think like that? Probably not, thats why some get married. Do you have any advice to give to these married men?
ON:To keep your marriage brimming
      With love in the loving cup,
      Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
      Whenever you’re right, shut up. 

SM:Now,Mr.Nash! You make women sound like upholders of the law! We are not that bad.

ON:Women would rather be right than reasonable.


 SM: Truer words were never spoken. So to end this little chat would you like to give a message to your ardent readers?

ON:There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have either a      clear conscience or none at all.

All the dialogues of Odgen Nash are his poetry and quotes!
Hope you enjoyed this!
