E is for Everybody Tells Me Everything

American poet Ogden Nash (1902-1971) is best remembered for his humorous, often sardonic, take on human life. His verse frequently contained occasional rhymes, often inserted without sticking to traditional poetic meters.

Everybody Tells Me Everything, by Ogden Nash

I find it very difficult to enthuse
over the current news.
Just when you think

that at least the outlook

is so black

that it can grow no blacker,

it worsens.

And that is why

I do not like the news,

because there has never been an era

when so many things

were going so right

for so many of the wrong persons.
