VCO's Ogden Nash

   
 

by S. Baron

 
 


VCO has everything, shy of one thing missing
Each issue comes out and I keep wishing
A poem, a ditty or an ode
Would on the web site load
But to no avail
So I'm sending MY email
Keep in mind
I'll keep it light, not maligned
A pithy and funny light verse
Slightly perverse, mostly diverse
Will send it off in a flash
And be VCO's Ogden Nash
So without further ado
Welcome to my poetry debut
 
Audrey Roberts' columns overflow with art essentials
Certainly she has impeccable credentials
Adele Zorn, known to us as Z.Z.
Is one of our best, we all agree
The columns of Dr. Altman
Make us search within
 
Went to Caesar's Palace
To stir up some malice
Took my aunt Alice
Who's from Dallas
 
Dashed over to Wynn
To give the wheels a spin
Imagine my chagrin
When I actually did win...
 
Finally arrived at the Gold Coast
In bowling we became engrossed
My game, if diagnosed
Was nothing of which to boast.
 
In came my sister Joanna
Bringing with her our nana
They flew in from Montana
Where'd I take 'em? Tropicana..!
 
They wanted to go to the MGM
Had heard it was a gem
So I took them
 
Downtown we went to Four Queens
Three hours they played the machines
Lost all their beans
 
Then came the highlight of the day
We went to The Rio for their Buffet
What an incredible display
Quite an impressive array
 
Hope you thought my little ditty
Was somewhat witty
Don't need 'no committee'
Don't want 'no pity'
For my ode about our city
