Reflection on the Fallibility of Nemesis
He who is ridden by a conscience
Worries about a lot of nonscience;
He without benefit of scruples
His fun and income soon quadruples.
Commentary
Found this gem while leafing through a random book on poetry. Who could but agree, albeit with a rueful grin. You haven’t run any Ogden Nash for a while, how about this one?
