According to Writer's Almanac, today is the birthday of the poet Ogden Nash. His poetry is usually short and to the point--just the way I like my poetry. He was a favorite poet of my grandfather.
Here are two of his poems:
The Parent
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore,
And that's what parents were created for.
This next one makes me laugh and reminds me of my parents:
The Perfect Husband
He tells you when you've got on
too much lipstick
And helps you with your girdle
when your hips stick.
