Reflection on the Fallibility of Nemesis -- Ogden Nash

Guest poem submitted by Zenobia Driver:
(Poem #1881) 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.
-- Ogden Nash
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?

  1. Too true. And unfortunate that the "sins of the father
    are visited on the sons" and those poor innocents will pay!
    In this regard, I'd like to mention that all the religions do
    try to make people stick to the straight and narrow by putting
    the fear of God into their sould, with varying degrees of success.
    Perhaps the ones that preah one life and everlasting Heaven or Hell
    thereafter are more successful.
    I'd also like to mention the various punishments described for
    different transgressions in the Hindu Garuda Purana, famously
    brought to the screen in a Tamil film called Annaiyan, which
    also features modest special effects and an MPD theme.
