I look in the mirror
And what do I see
A strange looking person
That surely cannot be me.
For, I am much younger
And not nearly so fat
As that strange face in the mirror
That I am looking at.
Oh, where are those mirrors
That I used to know
Like the ones which were made
Some thirty years ago.
Now all things have changed
And I’m sure you’ll agree
Mirrors are not made as good
As they once used to be.
So never be concerned,
About those wrinkles and flab that your eyes see
For one thing I’ve learned
That is now very clear to me,
Should your complextion
Be less than perfection,
It is really the mirror
That surely needs the correction!
Good morning! I hope all of you are relaxing and enjoying this happy Sunday. Sharing a poem that I came across and found very interesting and amusing. Enjoy!
LOL! Excellent. I wish I could change my perspective that easily but this is worth a try π

Mirror is a matter of perception and the biggest illusion offering a flawed image of what we really are! Love the poem, beautifully crafted.

“It is surely the mirror that needs correction!”
You’re so much like me, my friend. I’m not making this up, I have realised you look extra ugly in some mirrors especially those in low lights and above washbasin. And then there are some which make you look better. Nonetheless, I enjoyed every word of your poem. You should write more of these, love themπβΊοΈ

Have stopped looking too much at mirrors now. They aren’t good at all. Still remember when I was 16 and my dad actually commented on me looking into every mirror I passed byπ. They were good then, no matter what. Have to agree with your poem. Very well put Pranitha.π
