peas with honey


I heard this poem along time ago and my friend reminded me of it again today.

I eat my peas with honey;
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on the knife.

I wondered who the author was.

The Poetry foundation list the author as Anonymous and the source as The Random House Book of Poetry for Children (1983)

Several sites however list the poet as Ogden Nash, which sounds about right.
