When I looked at my mirror, what I did see <br />Was a wrinkled aged reflection of little old me <br />There’s one thing I’m sure of, there’s one thing I know <br />There’s no doubt about it, that mirror must go <br /> <br />A mirror’s just clutter, not needed at all <br />When it refuses to show me as handsome and tall <br />The appearance of wrinkles is very unkind <br />Particularly since they’re surely not mine <br /> <br />How deceitful that mirror when it belies <br />When all of reality it completely denies <br />There’s one thing I’m sure of, there’s one think I know <br />There’s no doubt about it, that mirror must go<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mirror-s-just-clutter/
