I have always considered, "Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker" to be a classic as well as a bit of practical information.

I had an entire book of his funnies when I was a kid. He was really unique. I haven't thought of him in years.

behold the duck, it does not cluck, a cluck it lacks, it quacks.
and when it dines and sups it bottoms ups
the trouble with kittens it that
eventually they become cats
not sure i remembered everything exactly

I remember one about all the different names of baby animals, and when he got to guppies in the last verse, he said "and Guppies just have baby Guppies."

My mother and I used to read Ogden Nash to each other when I was 7 or 8.
What a funny bug, the centipede.
An insect we don't really need.
For where we hit
He's often not.
And if he is, he makes a spot.
There was a girl from Woods Hole
With notions exceedingly droll.
To a masquerade ball,
She wore nothing at all,
And backed in as a Parker House Roll.

The pig if I am not mistaken
supplies us sausage, ham, and bacon
Let others say his heart is big
I call it stupid of the pig.
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I remember this one from long ago.
The cow is of bovine ilk
One end moo the other milk.

My high school English teacher told us some his best were not published. Many of the limericks wildly circulated word of mouth were written by Nash.

My favorite.
On a Good Dog
O, my little pup ten years ago
was arrogant and spry,
Her backbone was a bended bow
for arrows in her eye.
Her step was proud, her bark was loud,
her nose was in the sky,
But she was ten years younger then,
And so, by God, was I.
Small birds on stilts along the beach
rose up with piping cry.
And as they rose beyond her reach
I thought to see her fly.
If natural law refused her wings,
that law she would defy,
for she could do unheard-of things,
and so, at times, could I.
Ten years ago she split the air
to seize what she could spy;
Tonight she bumps against a chair,
betrayed by milky eye!
She seems to pant, Time up, time up!
My little dog must die,
And lie in dust with Hector's pup;
So, presently, must I.
