Analyzation of Ogden Nash Poem, "Kindly Unhitch That Star, Buddy"

All people in the world live their entire lives to become something greater than they actually are. The quest for success in life is never-ending and people are never satisfied with what they have. In the poem "Kindly Unhitch that Star, Buddy" Nash warns not to dream for a goal that cannot be attained, in other words people's long and arduous journey through life is pointless and success is unattainable. <Tab/>…

…and irony Nash demonstrates how an average Joe's journey through life and his striving to become successful will most likely end in failure. The theme of the quest for success is futile in "Kindly Unhitch that Star, Buddy" is a good example of people's obsession with success and the value of their life based on that success, people should be satisfied with their life and not trying to live up to something that is unachievable.
