Ogden Nash

Sharing

People who have what they want are very fond of telling people who haven’t what they want that they really don’t want it,

And I wish I could afford to gather all such people into a gloomy castle on the Danube and hire half a dozen capable Draculas to haunt it.

I don’t mind their having a lot of money, and I don’t care how they employ it,

But I do think that they damn well ought to admit they enjoy it.


Ogden Nash, from “The Terrible People,” Many Long Years Ago (1945).
