Reprise by Ogden Nash
Geniuses of countless nations
Have told their love for generations
Till all their memorable phrases
Are common as goldenrod or daisies.
Their girls have glimmered like the moon,
Or shimmered like a summer noon,
Stood like lily, fled like fawn,
Now the sunset, now the dawn,
Here the princess in the tower
There the sweet forbidden flower.
Darling when I look at you
Ever aged phrase is new,
And there are moments when it seems
I've married one of Shakespeare's dreams.
and on the lighter side...
The Perfect Husband by Ogden Nash
He tells you when you've got on
too much lipstick,
And he helps you with your girdle
when your hips stick.
