Count the Steps

A shadow of an image Tricked by what it seemed It takes all by surprise So don't be fooled When it tricks your mind If you look once you will be fooled And twice you will be baffled the third time your mind will twist And forth you'll never see it But five and six you'll come too quick To see the trick it has shown By the number seven Your mind will be blown to bits By ten the spoiled secret Will bring a smile when you see It was just a illusion Because you looked the other way Which may seem odd to others But they'll understand some day When they see that the image was Just a look as simple as Counting all the steps But leaving out 9 and 8
