Greetings, Peeps! Toosdai is now the day for some srs mischiefery with a mashery of Ogden Nashery (illustrated)! Srsly. Found a few I think we haven’t covered yet. So enjoy! But this post is an Open Thread, so please feel free to discuss and to post your favorite illustrated pomes in the Comments also too!

Just Keep Quiet and Nobody Will Notice

There is one thing that ought to be taught in all the colleges,

Which is that people ought to be taught not to go around always making apologies.

So I think there is one rule every host and hostess ought to keep with the comb and nail file and bicarbonate and aromatic spirits on a handy shelf,

Which is don't spoil the denouement by telling the guests everything is terrible, but let them have the thrill of finding it out for themselves.

… Or in the slow cooker… but that won’t delay dinner, will it?

The Politician

Whether elected or appointed
He considers himself the Lord's anointed,
And indeed the ointment lingers on him
So thick you can't get your fingers on him.

I Have It On Good Authority

There are two kinds of people who blow through life like a breeze,
And one kind is gossipers, and the other kind is gossipees,
And they certainly annoy each other,
But they certainly enjoy each other,
Yes, they pretend to flout each other,
But they couldn't do without each other…

PWBPeeps is a group that posts a daily diary and nightly open thread for animal lovers.

You are welcome to join us!

Here are a few not-too-onerous PWB rulez

Do not “Troll” the Pootie Peeps Diaries. If you don’t like animal diaries, there’s no need to tell us about it. Just go find some other diary more to your liking.
Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. As in, no pie fights. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
If you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks!
There are some pics we never post: Snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated.
If you’re not sure about an issue...please ask. Someone is always glad to help.
