The snippit in the previous post is from Nash's "Kindly Unhitch That Star, Buddy." It's funny in a laid-back 19 30s/40s sort of way. Like a lot of other Nash stuff, it extends some Mencken ideas in rhyme and meter so atrocious you will at least giggle.
In a sense, Nash the poet (or scribbler of doggeral to academic anals who don't like him) parodies poetry.
