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

I sent you a mail today, Deb. Let me know if you got it as the date and time came up and I could not find the letter. Take care. Shirley X
