"There was a young lady called Harris,
That nothing could ever embarrass;
Till the bath-salts one day
In the tub where she lay
Turned out to be Plaster of Paris."
~Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash's goal is to humor the reader with this limerick. Naming his female character a typical male name of "Harris", he uses situational irony of using Plaster-of-Paris instead of bath salts in Harris's bathtub to embarrass her. Nash's quirky sense of humor invokes amusement for the reader. |
