Karam Misra Poet Quatrain

Thanks, But No Thanks, Dorian Gray

Dorian Gray came to me the other day
Offered to trade his portarit with one of mine
I politely refused and had this to say
Thank you, but I already have one that's fine

Everyday I do something really vile
It stares back at me with a most ugly face
Evil thoughts and deeds my mien with scars defile
Thank you, but my mirror does my conscience trace
