The Best Doggerel of All Time
A Brief History of Doggerel and Nonsense Verse

compiled by Michael R. Burch

http://www.thehypertexts.com/The%20B...All%20Time.htm

There are several Ogden Nash poems here.

By the way, the first limerick on the page, about relativity, is not by Anonymous, but by Arthur Henry Reginald Buller. Here’s the version that appeared in Punch (according to Wikipedia and Quote Investigator):

There was a young lady named Bright,

Whose speed was far faster than light;

***She started one day

***In a relative way,

And returned on the previous night.

—A. H. Reginald Buller in Punch (Dec. 19, 1923)
