Here's one from Ogden Nash:

Reflection on the Fallibility of Nemesis

He who is ridden by a conscience
Worries about a lot of nonscience;
He without benefit of scruples
His fun and income soon quadruples.

And another one:

The Wasp

The wasp and all his numerous family
I look upon as a major calamily.
He throws open his nest with prodigality,
But I distrust his waspitality.

Editing back: Some damn spelling algorithm corrected Nash's "calamily," so I've corrected its correction.
