I would like to dispute the authorship of these cow poems.
It seems kind of strange to me to attribute them to Ogden
Nash when it was Gillette Burgess who wrote the book "The Purple
Cow and other Nonsense".

Yes I wrote the Purple Cow,
I'm sorry now I wrote it.
But I can tell you anyhow,
I'll kill you if you quote it!
