Poem
I saw a man in the mirror yesterday I saw him there again today Behind him I saw streets and houses and people everywhere And my mind wondered and pondered and wondered what this man’s life was like there And looking at this man in his world I thought is he thinking the same as me And in his world through this piece of glass would he see on his side what I see Because thinking logically everything would be the other way around The more I thought about this the more confused I got and even the man in the mirror frowned So I dispelled logic had a bit of fun and put my overactive imagination to the test For starters the sun would rise in the east and set in the west The hands on the clock here would read 1oclock through 7 In his world they would read 5oclock through 11 (scratches head mmm) Imagine if we all went to that world imagine the chaos imagine the fuss And how confusing would the alphabet be imagine it All the letters would be backwards nothing would fit The people in that world just wouldn’t make sense We wouldn’t to them either we would think each other dense Or esned they would say Which is dense just the other way? Imagine all the traffic arrests we’d all be driving on the wrong side of the road It wouldn’t make any sense to us there Highway Code If you got married over there and it didn’t work out you could get a quickie divorce no need to linger? Just bring him/her over to this side of the glass and guess what it would be annulled because the ring would be on the wrong finger The only thing that would make sense on both sides of the glass Would be the name of a certain pop group if you’ve guessed it go to the top of the class Because palindromes on both sides are the same the only things to make sense Haven’t got it yet ok I’ll put you out of your suspense Abba of course spelt with a backward B as originally spelt I could go on and on all day with this but my brains about to melt Went back to the mirror again today and he wasn’t there I think is absence is caused by my flight of fancy to be fair Sort of raises the question though where’s my reflection gone as I stare at not 2 of me but one Ah well perhaps he will come back when my Lewis Caroll fixation has gone naJ ht01 natS
