“I hope my tongue in prune juice smothers,
If I belittle dogs and mothers.”
–Ogden Nash
Ogden Nash’s witty poetry established him as one of America’s favorite poets of the 20th century. His former home is now a private residence so is not open to the public, but, if your timing is right, you may be able to see this elegant 10,000-foot house on a home tour.
Meanwhile, we recommend visiting the Church of the Redeemer in Baltimore, where the author worshiped and was married to Frances Leonard in 1931.
