Mirror Mirror.

By Stephanie Sideways

Mirror mirror
You tell lies
Who put crows feet
Round my eyes?

Mirror mirror
Hanging there
Who put that grey
In my hair?

Mirror mirror
Is that me
Is that really
Me I see?

Mirror Mirror
Stop your fun
That's not me
That is my mum

Mirror mirror
Don't stare back
For its bad luck
If you should crack

Mirror mirror
On days like these
When what I'm seeing
Doesn't please

Mirror mirror
My mood this day
Will ask you turn
The other way!

  • A former member wrote: If only it did lie. I love your thought behind this. For as the body body might grow old, the soul ceases to age. Very unique. Thank you for sharing.

  • A former member wrote: NO. The mirror is the only item in our everyday life that DOES not lie.

    ...Like Dorian Gray, the mirror should be: that it should age, instead of me! (with my compliments, Steph!)...

    Like fine wine, you are only getting better - I tell wifey this all the time but she only harrumphs! Once the change kicks-in the man has to work twice as hard to get half as much, cheers and it's all we ever deserved in the first place!
