Dumb Mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall
                              Who is the fairest of them all?
                              Sure not you, you silly dope
                             In this field you have no hope.
           
                                 Mirror mirror judge of all
                            Can't you see some beauty small
                                    If its there its sure hid
                                That's why I answered as I did

                               All your teeth have fallen out 
                                You have wrinkles all about
                              Most all your hair has gone away
                                  What is left is turning grey

                                  And your chin is double now
                               A stomach that would fit a cow
                              In heavy folds your skin doth sag
                                To tell the truth your just a hag
                         
                               And as I thought to answer back
                              The glass hung there began to crack
                                   It shattered and fell to the floor
                                     To end its lies forevermore

                           For my Grandfather........He gets it...

Mirrors are more honest than any of us and not easily given to taking bribes. Thank you for reading my work. / M
