Life is stepping down a step or sitting in a  \nchair,  \nAnd it isn’t there.  \nLife is not having been told that the man has just waxed  \n(5) the floor,  \nIt is pulling doors marked Push and pushing doors marked  \nPull and not noticing notices which say Please Use  \nOther Door.  \nLife is an Easter Parade  \n(10) In which you whisper,“No darling if it’s a boy we’ll name  \nhim after your father!” into the ear of an astonished  \nstranger because the lady you thought was walking  \nbeside you has stopped to gaze into a window full of  \nradishes and hot malted lemonade.  \n(15) It is when you diagnose a sore throat as an unprepared  \ngeography lesson and send your child weeping to  \nschool only to be returned an hour later covered with  \nspots that are indubitably genuine,  \nIt is a concert with a trombone soloist filling in for Ye-  \n(20) hudi Menuhin. *  \nWere it not for frustration and humiliation  \nI suppose the human race would get ideas above its sta  \ntion.  \nSomebody once described Shelley as a beautiful and inef-  \n(25) fective angel beating his luminous wings against the  \nvoid in vain,  \nWhich is certainly describing with might and main,  \nBut probably means that we are all brothers under our  \npelts,  \n(30) And Shelley went around pulling doors marked Push and pushing doors marked Pull just like everybody else.  \n—Ogden Nash  \n* Yehudi Menuhin—a famous American violinist and conductor Copyright © 1942 by Ogden Nash, renewed  \nQ1.
