I Cannot Write Like Ogden Nash Wrote

I cannot write like Ogden Nash wrote.
I've tried and my failures could fill a trashboat.
His rhymes were clever and surely amusing;
English he enjoyed abusing.
He twisted the language to fit his design,
And, somehow, no matter how hard I try to, I just cannot seem to make
         that style of writing poetry mine.
