My palinode: pie ala mode
had earlier affection
but now my waist measures such taste
with bold discrimination.
A palinode or palinody is an ode in which the writer retracts a view or sentiment expressed in an earlier poem. Ogden Nash wrote a palinode in relation to his most famous poem about the dandiness of candy, and quickness of liquor:
“Nothing makes me sicker
than liquor
and candy
is too expandy”
This was delightful…!! 😀
