Many poems are misattributed, and I take that seriously. Ogden Nash wrote many poems, but contrary to popular belief he did not write every comic poem in his era. <br /><br />He wrote a poem called "Common Cold" http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/common-cold/<br /><br />One called "The Sniffle"<br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sniffle/<br /><br />And another called "The Germ"<br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-germ/<br /><br />But there are no reputable websites that link this poem with Ogden Nash.<br /><br />In his New York Times obituary, it says that along with being a comedian, Merwyn Bogue was an accomplished musician and that he enjoyed comic poetry. While they don't say outright that he wrote this poem, it is at least implied.<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/1994/06/08/obituaries/ish-kabibble-comic-and-cornetist-86.html<br /><br />I could believe that one of his joke writers came up with some or part of the poem, but Ish Kabibble is the only person I've ever seen reliably credited with it.<br />Karen Ahlstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494601453714239376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145150938922509338.post-85506260199587403722013-01-30T16:21:21.832-08:002013-01-30T16:21:21.832-08:00Ish Kabibble was a comedian, but the poet that you...Ish Kabibble was a comedian, but the poet that you're looking for that Wrote "How you catch a cold." was from the same era.<br />Please look up Ogden Nash, and change your website to respect the true author.
