Mirror Mystery

This morning I looked in the mirror And experienced a curious sight. The old man looking back at me Had his left hand on his right. If left is right and right is left, Why is not up-side down? I suppose it would be too difficult To smile when we wanted to frown!??. 53 words 5/23/2017 One of five-70 words or less contest; Sponsored by Laura Loo Theme = “mirror”
