Mirrors
Not Yet Time!
I looked in the
mirror and what did I see?
An ancient old
person looking at me
I looked at her
and said "Set me free"
But she just grinned
and grinned, did she
"Set yourself
free, you hold the key!"
And guess what
I did? - Yes, I did flee
......Not yet
time to just "live and let be!"

LAUGH WITH GLEE
I look in the mirror
and laugh with glee
For, what I see
looking back at me;
It looks as funny
as can be.
It can’t be me,
can it?
Young and vibrant
fits me to a tee.
But it’s old and
wrinkled looking back at me,
So I’m sure you
folks will all agree,
It can’t be me,
can it?
Now--if that image
is really me
I’m gonna stop
that laughin’ with glee,
Instead I’ll laugh
hysteric’ly!
It can’t be me,
can it? Sob! Sob!

Mirror,
Mirror, on the wall,
What will happen, if you fall?
I see le fantôme locked within
A room, reverse of mine.
Perchance, the mirror-architects
Live by inverse design.
Suppose you drop and scatter,
Throughout my room for yards,
A myriad of razor-sharp
And pointed mirror-shards?
What fate awaits le fantôme, then,
Amongst your glass discards?
Will he be subdivided?
Each shard displaying part
Of le fantôme's total being,
One a brain, perhaps, and one a heart?
Awaiting re-assembly
By someone very smart?
Or will I find before me
Not a fantôme split asunder
But a thousand little fantômes,
Whom I can view with wonder?
Ah! What a gift to all the world
From the south sea isles downunder!
But, then, suppose you're cleaned away,
Replaced by another glass,
And, out the corner of my eye,
I see a fantôme pass.
Will that be the same fantôme
Or a new one, who'll surpass?
If le fantôme lives again
By buying a reflector,
We could only sat that he's
A very lucky spectre.
But, if there is a new fantôme,
Pray, welcome to this sector.

Mirror Mirror
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the dumbest one of all?
Password forgotten, received the 'hint'
Which helped me not: I'm dense as flint
My IM password I can't recall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Remind me to write down passwords all
On paper with a plain old pen
Perhaps that'll help me when
My access to the net, I stall

Upon Reflection
A garden pond is a mirror of the sky
Unless weeds in the water lie
A pond reflection
A memory is a mirror of the past
Weed out the bad so they don't last
A fond reflection

Web Mirror
"Mirror, Mirror", on the net
What you see is what you get.
Surf the web and what do you see?
Poems of mirrors, by you and me.

2-way mirrors
Through a 2 way mirror
I stood there spying
The person I saw
Didn't know I was prying
To him as he preened
There was no denying
His teeth were cleaned
But it was horrifying!

Reflection
The mirror was a reflection
of days gone by.
Brown eyes reflecting rejection.
When will tears dry.

Looking Glass
In the sequel to 'Alice in Wonderland'
She went through a looking glass
In Wonderland she met a caterpillar
Smoking something like grass
She met a rabbit and a Mad March Hare
I remember that land really well
But the sequel through the looking glass?
Can anyone here retell?

Wet Mirror
Son of the nymph, Liriope,
And of Cephissus
Was a good-lookin' coot wot likes 'isself,
An' 'e's nicknamed Narcissus.
'E looks inter a puddle
An' sure likes wot 'e sees
So, 'e dumps 'is girl-friend, Echo,
Despite 'er moanin' pleas.
Then, back 'e goes ter the puddle
Admirin' 'is lovely gob
But 'e never could get ter kiss it
So 'e ended it all wiv a sob.
Yeah! The idjit topped 'isself
An' 'is blood turns inter a flower
Wot bears 'is name up ter this day,
In sunshine, rain or shower.
le fantôme-apache amical
The eyes miirror the soul
The eyes, they say
Do mirror the soul
So a shifty-eyed guy
Is on a criminal roll
And a teary-eyed gal
Is a wet-blanket moll
And someone with a sparkling glint
Is lightning-witted and drole
But the person who narrows his eyes
Wishes you were down a deep hole
And when you get a sideways glance
It had better not be from a troll!

MIRRORS
Who invented such things?
They reflect age-dings
By dings I mean rents
As in car acci-'dents'
