A Mirror Image
A Mirror Image
With my big mouth blowing in the breeze
Someone said shut it would you please
Why is it that you are not very bright?
And of everything start to loose sight.
Like winding up on a dead end street
Always though what seemed so neat
Is if my mailbox put in a mousetrap
And my postal person had a mishap.
Stole newspapers from off of a porch
Burned them up by applying a torch
And am not sure what it could cost
My money in stock market was lost.
Learned a few tricks of the trade
After up my bed was all now made
When I laid candy on my each sheet
Did have dreams which were so sweet.
Lastly, while it had been Halloween
Was in costume looking old and mean
Stared in mirror and what I saw
Looked just like my mother in law.
