You & Me & Ogden Nash

____________________________________________________________________________________

What is life? Life is stepping down a step or sitting in a chair.
And it isn’t there.


Life is not having been told that the man has just waxed the floor.
 

Life is pulling doors marked PUSH and pushing doors marked PULL 
and not noticing notices which say PLEASE USE OTHER DOOR.
 

It is when you diagnose a sore throat as an unprepared geography lesson
and send your child weeping to school only to be returned an hour
later covered with spots that are indubitable genuine...


Ogden Nash
You And Me And P.B. Shelley
