This is a concise expression of the universiality of the human condition by
the master of humorous poetry that speaks to ordinary life and the mind of
modern man. It's one of my all time favorites by one of my all time poets.

I am trying to confirm that it was in fact Odgen Nash who wrote the short
poem Fleas (Adam/Had'em). There seems to be some confusion. Can anyone
help? Was it Strickland Gillilan?
