I have absolutely LOVED going through and reading all the various poems in this collection. A few of my particular favorites have been Experiment Degustatory, The Spaghetti Nut, Homework! Oh, Homework, and Sick. I think the reason I like this particular selection is because of the humor.
In Nash's Experiment Degustatory, I find the irony of "tastes like chicken" to be hysterical. Just yesterday I was talking to a friend about Rocky Mountain Oysters and he said that they taste just like fried chicken. Being unknowledgable, I assumed he was referring to seafood. It only took a few seconds for him to see my confusion and explain that Rocky Mountain Oysters are in fact, bull testicles. I just about threw up. And he said they tasted like chicken! GROSS!
I really enjoyed the tongue-twister challenge of The Spaghetti Nut and have actually shared it with several friends seeing who can recite it the fastest. I think the reason I like Homework! Oh, Homework and Sick so much is because I destest homework and school. I don't mind learning, but I just don't enjoy the process. I can sympathize with the character.
