Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka, while in the invention room.... Prior to that he said:
"spring time, in the early ring time, birds sing, a ring a ding a ding time, hey hey" while riding a bicycle stirring whipped cream.

I had to google it. Dorothy Parker. You were talking about brevity, right? Not candy? Though, I do enjoy both candy and liquor.
I love Ogden Nash...
'The cow is of the bovine ilk.
One end is moo,
