Tribute to Ogden Nash

Poem using 2 similes for English project.

Candy is dandy
But liquor is quicker.
Ogden Nash is handy
Because his writings aren’t thicker.
This playful writer
Born in 1902
Thought poetry that was lighter
Was long overdue.
I admired his collection
Like a fat kid with cake
This new found affection
Put my reputation at stake.
I took to it like a duck takes to water,
‘Dumb Poetry’ has never seemed hotter.
