Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Ogden Nash

When I was a youngster in school,

Study of poetry began,

To really bore me as a rule,

And soon left my attention span.

Poems were too hard and too long

For this kid, and seemed more kind of

Cruel punishment that was so wrong,

'Specially the stuff about love.

But then a poet came to light,

Ogden Nash, and he wrote about

Funny kid stuff that sounded right,

My favorite poet, no doubt.

Thanks to Ogden Nash teaching me 

Thar's humor in them poetry.
