Distortions

In the Hall of Mirrors, What do I see? A distorted image, can that be me? I can look tall, with a gigantic head, Or have big feet, as heavy as lead. Tiny hands and the most extended face, A stomach so fat, I can't see my feet, To lace, My shoes have long turned-up toes, They are long enough to pick my nose, Ever-changing images I see I do not recognise one of them that resembles me! (Thank God!)

Ha, ha, ha! Whatever the opposite of 'distorted' is -- 'torted?!' -- that's the mirror in my bathroom. ~ Torted Tortoise
