Little Girl As Mirror Oracle
The comment of a girl younger than four
is truer than any Delphic oracle;
To try to change it in your favor requires
no less than a medieval miracle;
For hers is the honest opinion of a
trustworthy mirror on the wall;
Though you befriend her with chocolate
bars, toys and a marshmallow ball,
She sticks to her verdict and points at
your wrinkles, warts and all !
