Ogden Nash, a favorite!

There was a ditty I encountered in some magazine (Life, Look, Post?) around '61 to '64 I wish I could remember, called "Ode to a Code", in part:

You may liefer(?) be a lifer
Than a sentimental cypher
But the pressures ever rifer
intervene
To change your rage to umbrage
And your identity to numb(e)rage
as you... (forgotten)
(?) machine.

Hi! One of Anoreth's gerbils just died. An unexpected tragedy; they're supposed to live four years or so.

Don't look at me. I wasn't anywhere near the cage.

Well, we can rule out that possibility. You got something against small rodents?

She just lost energy, felt cold, and then lay down and died. We'll disinfect the cage; don't want the second one to catch anything if it was bacteria or viral. Maybe genetic, who knows.

You didn't have C-SPAN on did you? I've kinda felt like that while watching the Senate...

I couldn't find it

It wasn't one of his and probably is not online, it's so old.

It would be really funny to dig it up, reflecting as it did the frustration with increasing use of numbers experienced ca 1961. When a telephone number was written "TE 2-8455", when zip codes didn't exist, when a computer was a giant vacuum-tube machine that filled a room with people waiting on it hand and foot...

LOL! No C-Span, and we don't give them the local newspaper.

All I can tell you is that lief, or liefer, seems to be an Americanism. I recall Louis L'Amour using expressions such as, "I'd as lief not go there, right now."

lief (lêf) adverb
liefer, liefest
Readily; willingly: I would as lief go now as later.

adjective
liefer, liefest
Archaic.
1. Beloved; dear.
2. Ready or willing.
[Middle English leve, lef, dear, willingly, from Old English lêof, dear.]

Very interesting. I had known the word, but I am not certain that was used here. Though it fits...

Alliteration and assonance.

The lady in white is the best woman I have ever known.
The fellow to her right is the luckiest man on Earth. Fortunately: he knows this, and I approve of him ;)

Belated posting of one image from the wedding of Christine and Josiah, which I attended in June.
