Twas Brillo, and the GE Stoves,
Did Procter-Gamble in the Glade.
All Pillsbury were the Taystee-Loaves,
And in a Minute Maid.

........ From "Jabberwhacky, or, Upon Falling Asleep While Watching TV".

One of my favorite verses:

"And hast thou Dreft the Station Break?
Ajax the Breck, Excedrin boy!
Oh Fab washday! Cashmere Bouqet!"
He Handiwrapped with Joy.

But since you brought up Ogden Nash, there's a poem he wrote long long ago which is very applicable to the current crop of liberals, especially these last 3 months.....

Love is a word that is frequently heard.
Hate is a word that is not.
Love, I am told, is more precious than gold.
Love, I have read, is hot.

But Hate is the verb that to me is superb.
And love but a drug on the mart.
Any kiddie in school can love like a fool.
But hating, my boy, is an art!

“What a twitterpated flibbertygibbet”, I muttered to myself as the maiden struggled to maintain her balance under the ill balanced load, all cattywampus on her head.

I twitterpated the umptyscratch but then the flibbertigibbet went all cattywampus on me.

I included the umptyscratch because everybody knows that a flibbertigibbet can only be twitterpated when it's in parallel with an umptyscratch!

Geeze, you guys!!!

I do know the meaning of cattywompus but am unfamiliar with the terms twitterpated and flibbertigibbet.

There, that’s a sentence.

My oldest son, a twitterpated flibbertigibbet, parked his car all cattywompus last night, with unfortunate results involving a trash truck.

I was twitterpated by the Flibbertigibbet living on the street opposite and cattywompus to mine.
