My Reflection (humor)

My Reflection




I asked myself,
"Who is that man looking so drab?"
A gray haired fellow,
getting a little bald?
That is impossible!
it's me!
The mirror on the wall
not telling no lie.
"You sir, are not the fairest of them all!"

“Look at you” the mirror seemed to say,
"You have a double chin
underneath that goofy grin,
and where you used to be thin
 flab is moving in!
You have bags under your eyes big enough
you could store nuts from under a tree!”

I counseled with myself,
"Beauty is only skin deep!"
My reflection reminded me
"Ugly is to the bone!"
So I simply closed my eyes
while I brushed my teeth!

I opened my eyes
and I looked at me,
“You’re not so bad for a man
almost fifty-three!”
My reflection looked at me
and said, “I agree!”
