A poem about hors d'oeuvres

HORZ DOUVERS

How 'bout them horz douvers
Ain't they neat?
Little piece uh cheese,
Little piece uh meat.
- Mason Williams
Them Poems

[Binkie The Clown]

1. But, but, that doesn't rhyme.

There was a young man who liked horse douvers,
He served them one day to some Norse movers.
Said the Vikings to him,
"What is this crap, slim?"
Sorry, I'm all out of cow duvers.

2. Excellent!

3. Mason Williams was head writer on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour

and is best known for writing and performing Classical Gas.

5. Yep

I think I've still got a copy kicking around the house someplace.

6. Like Ogden Nash

My favorite from memory:

Big fleas have little fleas
Who ride on them and bite ‘em.
And little fleas have littler fleas
And so ad infinitum.

On edit: just remembered an hilarious scene from All in the Family, where Archie pronounced them as “horse ovaries.”
