It's the birthday of Ogden Nash, born in Rye, New York (1902).

He wrote humorous poems in his books that include The Bad Parents' Garden of Verse (1936), I'm a Stranger Here Myself (1938), and You Can't Get There from Here (1957).

Ogden Nash wrote,

"To keep your marriage brimming,

With love in the loving cup,

Whenever you're wrong, admit it;

Whenever you're right, shut up."

And,

"Some tortures are physical and some are mental, but the one that is both is dental."
