Ogden Nash (1902-1971) was one of the great writers of American humorous poetry, noted for couplets or other poems that rhyme, but [[Painful Rhyme|the lines are of different length and irregular meter]]. He lived in Baltimore most of his life, and included several paeans to it in his work. Also noted are his series of poems set to Camille Saint-Saens' "Carnival Of The Animals".
 
He was also verified by the ''[[Guinness World Records|Guinness Book Of World Records]]'' as having composed the shortest published poem: ''On the Antiquity of Fleas'', which consists of the single linemerely "Adam/Had'em."
