Middle-age is when you're sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn't for you. ~ #OgdenNash #poet #quotes #middeage

Middle age is when you've met so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else.

Bring down the moon for genteel Janet;
She's too refined for this gross planet.

She wears garments and you wear clothes,
You buy stockings, she purchases hose.

She say That is correct, and you say Yes,
And she disrobes and you undress.

Confronted by a mouse or mousse,
You turn green, she turns chartrousse.

I think that never shall I see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Indeed, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.
