That's Ogden Nash.
Middle aged life is merry and I love to lead it
But there comes a time when your eyes are all right but your arm isn't long enough to hold the telephone book where you can read it
And your friends get jocular so you go to the oculist
And of all your friends he is the joculest...

I LOVE Ogden Nash! Have since I was a kid.:
It is common knowledge to every schoolboy and even every Bachelor of Arts,
That all sin is divided into two parts.
One kind of sin is called a sin of commission, and that is very important,
And it is what you are doing when you are doing something you ortant... - O.N.

To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong admit it;
Whenever you're right shut up.

I think that I shall never see
a billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all. - O.N.
I could do this all day and then some!

Unhappiness is being trapped on a rainy highway with a slow-moving truck in front of you and a fast-moving truck coming up behind you.

Celery
Celery, raw
Develops the jaw,
But celery, stewed,
Is more quietly chewed.
