Whenever you’re right, shut up.

    The guy doth look real. Out of the 1930s. Are you and Jim at odds these days or maybe you're giving him a hint? Sheesh, what a poem! But it does contain some useful advice. :)

    I'm going to say mannequin. His lips are just a big too pale.

    He does look a bit pale. Very lifelike though.

    Ogden Nash! I hear, erm read, his name so seldom these days. A pithily wise man...or would that be wisely pithy?

    I actually framed that poem! It's not only husbands who need that advice; at least this wife does, too. So, will you disclose whether it's man or mannequin?

    That is one of my favorite Ogden Nash poems! The guy is a little too stiff to be real.
