A poem of our own creation- Oh Oh Rum





Oh oh oh a battle of Rum
There is something in my Rum
Maybe it's something red or just a bag
but the taste is still good, cuz the Rum it is Drunk, and I don’t need anything also.
Ho ho ho a battle of Rum!!!




Celery- Ogden Nash

Celery, raw

Develops the jaw,

But celery, stewed,

Is more quietly chewed.



an analysis of the poem:


The theme of the poem - celery
Rhymes- raw jaw stewed, chewed.

Our creation visual representation it's celery that someone chewed. And baking celery stewed- green, tasty and hot.

A Drink With Something In It- Ogden Nash

There is something about a Martini,A tingle remarkably pleasant;
A yellow, a mellow Martini;
I wish I had one at present.
There is something about a Martini,
Ere the dining and dancing begin,
And to tell you the truth,
It is not the vermouth
I think that perhaps it's the gin.

Ogden Nash

The Task


biographical information about Ogden Nash:
Ogden Nash is one of the few American humorous poets.. His many poems are loved by both children and adults . Ogden Nash was born in Rye, New York, on August 19, 1902 . He went to a school in Newport, Rhode Island. He decided to get a job. He became a teacher at his old school in Rhode Island, which was called St. George's School, but quit because of stress from his fourteen-year-old students. Ogden Nash then became a salesman, then an adviser, then an editorial staff worker. Then he became a famous poet. He died on May 19, 1971,in Baltimore, Maryland.

facts about his writings:

Ogden Nash's strongest style in his writing was humor, but he had many others.

One of his techniques was to write some of his lines of uneven lengths.

He also misspelled and made up words to make them rhyme and sound humorous, which was strange since he went to Harvard, a very serious school.

He often wrote about animals, which I like. It makes poems more interesting. Here is a poem of his.
