The next best thing to coming up with stuff on my own? Quoting others.
Here’s Ogden Nash, from “The Strange Case of the Girl O’ Mr. Sponsoon’s Dreams”
…
One day he was driving along the street when he saw a beautiful girl.
-
My, what a beautiful girl, said Mr. Sponsoon. I wish I knew her name.
-
If I asked her name, said Mr. Sponsoon, she might think me a brazen cad.
-
But if I don’t know her name, she will go out of my life forever.
-
Mr. Sponsoon thought and thought.
-
Suppose I run over her gently, he thought at last.
-
With one wheel, say.
-
Certainly with no more than two.
-
Then I can read her name in the morning paper and all will be hotsy-totsy.
…
That’s exactly how Julie and I met. (I still have a slight limp from the incident.)
