The Rhinoceros
by Ogden Nash
The rhino is a homely beast,
For human eyes he's not a feast.
Farwell, farewell, you old rhinoceros,
I'll stare at something less prepoceros.

Sorry. Today's poem is just an excuse to share this darling baby rhino. I can't look at that picture without smiling.

Never thought rhinos could be cute, but that baby is adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteOh those ears!! That snub nose. Such huggability.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness. I don't know where you came across this baby rhino photo, Mary Lee, but it's totally overshadowing Ogden Nash. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh, those ears! Thanks for the Ogden Nash, too, Mary Lee.
ReplyDeleteI just watched a video of an adorable baby rhino and immediately thought he needed a poem. Looks like someone beat me to it!
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with the baby rhino at Singapore zoo - but it was not as tiny, or ungainly as this little cutie.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you indulged your wish to share the photo of this cutie, and Nash is one of my favorites! Win-win!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Gosh. We all needed this, Mary Lee - thank you! (Go, Little Rhino, Go!)
ReplyDeleteNash and rhino baby pictures...reason enough to post!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love Ogden Nash.
ReplyDeleteWhat better reason than to share an adorable rhino? And Ogden Nash ain't so bad either.
ReplyDeleteawwwwwwww. I could just gush and gush. What a cutie! And, how clever to pair that with Ogden Nash.
ReplyDeleteMary Lee, there is so much fun in your post today-that sweet little rhino and an Ogden Nash poem. I was in love with his poetry in high school but have not read his poems in a long while. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTeaching Truth #X: no apologizing for having fun.
ReplyDeleteI love Ogden Nash, and that rhino sure is cute, thanks Mary Lee!
