Humor the Mirror

He's one who often finds himself
   on the right side of every wrong issue,

      and is predictably late whenever he takes   
         short cuts just to get there way ahead of you;

quite habitually he runs right smack 
   into a creepy creditor he dreads to meet,

      or ends up sweating in a heavy raincoat
         in an abnormally unexpected high noon heat;

he says he's marching to the beat
   of his own drums you just can't hear,

      and stares at you, you at him in the mirror,
         two cheerful bunglers, so close, so near !
