Subjects of Ogden Nash:
        by Tom Saunders

"my field is the minor idiocies of humanity..."
Family Life - Including husbands, wives, children and grandchildren
(see 'A word to Husbands')*
People in general - Including women, foreigners and, of course, other people's children
(see 'More about People')
Making a living
(see 'Introspective Reflection')*
Liesure Time - Specifically how to spend and not having enough of it
(see 'Pretty Halcyon Days')
Wealth - Why you want it, what to do with it, where to find it and how to treat people who have it
(see 'Lines Inindated with the Depravation of Poverty; The Terrible People')

*Nash wrote on all these topics as no other poet had ever done; an undertone of sarcasm complimented by an abundance of humor.
