Life's Sneaky Mirror

I looked in the mirror and shook at the knees T’was enough to give a gal, the Hebe jibes Where was that young girl men looked at with glee Who was that old ding bat, No that couldn’t be me Wrinkled old prune with aching vertebrae Mutton dressed as lamb in a silly red beret You’ve got to be dreaming, it’s a temporary disguise Wake up girlie, time passes, the mirror never lies I’d like to be the girl who still should be there But with her, past memories, I just cannot share Inside I’m still that youngster filled with jeux de vie No use complaining of things that used to be So get on with it gal with no tantrums or sighs Dress to the nines and remember to exercise Don’t worry if gorgeous hunks no longer at your stare Find lots of new beginnings and great moments to share That mirrors very sneaky folks and it will come visit you So embrace life who cares about a wrinkle or two!
