Happy birthday to Richard Armour, professor of English and humourist. Author of Golf Is a Four-Letter Word. Also of one of my favorite little ditties:

Enticer

A married man who begs his friend,
A bachelor, to wed and end
His lonesome , sorry state,
Is like a bather in the sea,
Goose-pimpled, blue from neck to knee,
Who cries, "The water's great!"
