Thank you, Vinayak, for that lovely revisit of one of my favourites!
And though "month" is supposed to be one of the words in the English
language without a rhyme, Nash did his best with both the singular and
the his version of the plural of the word.
Which school did you go to, which taught Ogden Nash? Can't imagine
CBSE putting it into their syllabus...
I did my schooling in Mumbai so it was Maharashtra Board syllabus.
I remember the poem because of the lines:
Because some tortures are physical and some are mental,
But the one that is both is dental.
Serendipitously I had been to the dentist just the day before I was taught
that in school. So this poem just "stuck" in my brain. Is there a word
for such memories due to contextual association ?
