• Husbands are things that wives have to get used to putting up with. And with whom they breakfast with and sup with. They interfere with the discipline of nurseries, And forget anniversaries, And when they have been particularly remiss, They think they can cure everything with a great big kiss.

    Ogden Nash: Husbands are things that wives have to
get used to putting up with.
And with whom they breakfast with 
and sup with. 

They interfere with the discipline of nurseries,
And forget anniversaries, 
And when they have been particularly remiss,
They think they can cure everything
with a great big kiss.
