poem

  • I found this wonderful poem!


    Mirror Mirror

    Mirror mirror on the wall
    do you have to tell it all?
    Where do you get the glaring light
    to make my clothes look just too tight?

    I think I'm fine but I can see
    you won't cooperate with me.
    The way you let the shadows play
    you'd think my hair was turning grey.

    What's that you say, a double chin?
    No that's the way the light comes in.
    If you persist in peering so
    you'll confiscate my facial glow.

    And then if you're not hanging straight
    you'll tell me next I'm gaining weight.
    I'm really quite upset with you
    for giving this distorted view.

    I hate you being so smug and wise.
    Oh look what's happened to my thighs!
    I warn you now oh mirrored wall
    since we're not on speaking terms at all

    If I look like this in my new jeans
    you'll find yourself in smitherines!
