Mirror, Mirror

 

My Mom sent me this and I thought it was cute!

It also inspired me to write one of my own!!!

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Do you have to tell it all?
Where do you get the glaring right
To make my clothes all look too tight?
I think I'm fine but I can see
You won't cooperate with me;
The way you let the shadows play
You'd think my hair was getting gray.
What's that, you say? A double chin?
No, that's the way the light comes in.
If you persist in peering so
You'll confiscate my facial glow,
And then if you're not hanging straight
You'll tell me next I'm gaining weight!
I'm really quite upset with you
For giving this distorted view;
I hate you being smug and wise -
O, look what's happened to my thighs!
I warn you now, O mirrored wall,
Since we're not on speaking terms at all,
If I look like this in my new jeans
You'll find yourself in smithereens!!!

Ode to my Scale

Oh Scale as you sit upon my floor

And taunt me from my bathroom door

You make me nervous just sitting there

As I try to stay blissfully unaware

Of the pounds I really weigh

and not the ones my license say

I know that I can’t ignore you long

To do so would just be wrong

Because I know that you never lie

Even though I have made you try

By shifting and moving you around

The perfect place has never been found

So please my scale give me some good news

As I have been good and exercised too

It is time to see that needle go down

And maybe just maybe I’ll keep you around!

 

I seriously can’t believe I sacrificed sleep for this….

Have a great Day!
