The Sea-Gull
Hark to the whimper of the sea-gull;
He weeps because he’s not an ea-gull.
Suppose you were, you silly sea-gull,
Could you explain it to your she-gull?
Frederic Ogden Nash (August 19, 1902 – May 19, 1971)
From Wikipedia … http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogden_Nash ...
He was an American poet well known for his light verse. At the time of his death in 1971, the New York Times said his "droll verse with its unconventional rhymes made him the country's best-known producer of humorous poetry". Ogden Nash wrote over 500 pieces of comic verse. The best of his work was published in 14 volumes between 1931 and 1972.
