Returning to the word shebang, have you ever seen more than one shebang or is there only one in God’s creation? If I’m more interested in shebangs than you are, though. My blog isn’t ratings dependent or advertiser supported and it is, to refer to the beginning of this sentence, my blog, so I have editorial control.

I asked before if shebangs were indivisible: I wonder now if they’re visible.

Somebody who is reading this blog must know more about poetry than I do. I know Ogden Nash wrote a book called “You Can’t Get There from Here.” I swear he also wrote a poem that started like that, but I can’t find one in either of the Nash anthologies I own. Can anyone reading this point me in the right direction, or assure me that I’m wrong in remembering the poem?
