Ogden Nash (on Daf Yomi)

Had Mr. Nash known about what Harav Meir' Shapiro had wrought, he would have titled his poem "The Daf Yomi Yid."

Oft in the stilly night,

When the mind is fumbling fuzzily,

I brood about how little I know,

And know that little so muzzily.

Ere slumber's chains have bound me,

I think it would suit me nicely,

If I knew one tenth of the little I Know,

But knew that tenth precisely.

Gently my eyelids close;

I'd rather be good than clever;

And I'd rather have my facts all wrong

Then have no facts whatever.
