Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror

Mirror, mirror, she asked, "who is fairest?"
Said a maiden who felt like the rarest
Mirror answered unkindly
Maiden struck at it blindly
Now her image, is cracked and embarassed.

hmmm, maybe the meter is perfect. Just read it again and all the syllables seem to match up!

Love the humour here John This would have placed higher but the rhyme of embarrassed with fairest and rarest wasn't perfect . Congrats on your win:-) hugs Jan xx

this is a good one. Jan is pretty strict with rhyme so first word you might want to make sure is same as the other two it rhymes with!
