another favorite poet.....
The Earth
God loafs around heaven,
without a shape
but He would like to smoke His cigar
or bite His fingernails
and so forth.
God owns heaven
but He craves earth,
the earth with its sleepy caves,
its birds resting at the kitchen window....
He does not envy the soul so much,
He is all soul
but He would like to house it in a body
and come down
and give it a bath
now and then.

I like poetry as well. My wife turned me on to Ogden Nash before we were married:
