Mirror Image

I stared into the looking glass
and had a choking fit;
It wasn’t my own features there:
I’d turned into Brad Pitt!

I wondered if he found the same;
And had he lost his hair?
I’m sure the belly suits him well…
Who says that life aint fair?

Quite often when speaking to an audience I will start out by saying, "For those of you who don't know me, I am Brad Pittt. For those of you who do know me, I'm still Tony Lane." No one has ever mistaken me for him. Very funny write Jack. Brad
