Ogden Nash cracks me up

I'm working on program notes for recital. A friend & I are playing some movements from Carnival of the Animals, arranged for piano duet. The poem Nash wrote to go with this piece is amusing, some parts especially so. This is prolly my favorite :)

Sort of. I know I've listened to all the songs from the Carnival of the Animals before, but it's been a long time.

Yeah... :) It's not something I was very familiar with until we did as part of our winter concert.
I don't like a lot of the songs, but Aquarium & Fossils are among the best :)
