You Really Want Honesty?
The comment of a girl younger than four
is truer than any Delphic
oracle.
To try to change it in your favor requires
no less than a medieval
miracle.
For hers is the most honest opinion
of a trustworthy mirror
on the wall.
Although you befriend her with choco bars,
barbie dolls and a big marshmallow
ball,
she sticks to her verdict with conviction
as she points at your wrinkles,
warts and all!
