ponseroso - ogden nash lyrics

Loading...

come, megrims, mollygrubs and collywobbles!
come, gloom that limps, and misery that hobbles!
come also, most exquisite melancholiage
as dank and decadent as november foliage!
i crave to shudder in your moist embrace
to feel your oystery fingers on my face

this is my hour of sadness and of soulfulness
and cursed be he who dissipates my dolefulness
i do not desire to be cheered
i desire to retire, i am thinking of growing a beard
a sorrowful beard, with a mournful, a dolorous hue in it
with ashеs and glue in it

i want to be drunk with despair
i want to carеss my care
i do not wish to be blithe
i wish to recoil and writhe
i will revel in cosmic woe
and i want my woe to show
this is the morbid moment
this is the ebony hour

aroint thee, sweetness and light!
i want to be dark and sour!
àway with the bird that twitters!
all that glitters is jitters!
roses, roses are gray
violets cry boo! and frighten me
sugar is stimulating
and people conspire to brighten me
go hence, people, go hence!
go sit on a picket fence!
go gargle with minerai oil
go out and develop a boil!

melancholy is what i brag and boast of
melancholy i mean to make the most of
you beaming optimists shall not destroy it
but while i am it, i intend to enjoy it

go, people, stuff your mouths with soap
and remember, please, that when i mope, i mope!
