"Candy Is Dandy"

"Candy Is Dandy"

"Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker."
One makes her fatter , the other just sicker.
Thank you Ogden Nash!
My girl prefers cash.
The price?  Well, we have to dicker!

The first line of my limerick "Candy Is Dandy" is a poem by Ogden Nash.  I checked out a volume of Ogden Nash poetry from my high school library back in the day and have been a fan ever since.  I lost the book and ended up having to pay for it.  I continuously checked to see if it reappeared on the shelves but it never did.  Evidently whoever found the book was a bigger fan than I was.
