Both Ogden Nash and Anton Chekhov use language cleverly to create humour through exaggeration, irony, and contrast.

In “The Tale of Custard the Dragon,” Ogden Nash uses playful rhymes, childlike vocabulary, and exaggeration to make the poem funny. Words like “weeck,” “nasty teeth,” and “realio trulio” give it a comic, rhythmic tone. The humour comes from the contrast between Custard’s timid nature and the bravery of others who later turn out to be cowards. The poet mocks false bravery through this situational irony.

In “The Proposal,” Chekhov creates humour through absurd arguments, exaggerated emotions, and comic dialogue. The characters quarrel over trivial matters like “Oxen Meadows” and “dogs” instead of focusing on the marriage proposal. The frequent interruptions, shouting, and contradictions make the play a farce.

Thus, both writers use irony, exaggeration, and comic language to expose human foolishness and entertain the audience.
