The Termite

Some primal termite knocked on wood
And tasted it, and found it good!
And that is why your Cousin May
Fell through the parlor floor today.

–Ogden Nash (1902-1971)

I heard this on audio during the morning run–it helps to laugh! I thought of my Mom who was an english teacher and taught me to love words–KSH.
