Ninety-Nine Years of Ogden Nash

There’s one birthday that I’m pretty sure pretty much everyone will pretty much forget,
To their regret,
And I don’t mean the day that brash lllama logged in,
No, I mean the real birthday of the real Nash, comma, Ogden,
Than whom no writer wrote less bashfully
Or more Ogden Nashfully.

clue:

Ogden Nash of the three-L lllama was born on 19 August 1902.

give me a clue so sweet and true
