#February 2, 1931
#OTD Judith Viorst, American #Poet, #Humorist, & children's #Author, is born.

A native of #NewJersey, Judith famously wrote the Alexander series, which includes the best-selling Alexander & the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (1972).

Regarding the loss of a friend, she wrote,

"#Flowers smell like halibut.
Velvet feels like hay.
Every handsome dog's a mutt
Since Hanna moved away."

Judith once quipped,

"Growing old: I'd rather grow #Azaleas."

She's 92 today.
