The Mirror
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A strange looking person that cannot be me.
For I am much younger and not nearly so fat
As that face in the mirror I am looking at.
Oh, where are the mirrors that I used to know
Like the ones which were made thirty years ago?
Now all things have changed and I`m sure you`ll agree
Mirrors are not as good as they used to be.
So never be concerned, if wrinkles appear
For one thing I`ve learned which is very clear,
Should your complexion be less than perfection,
It is really the mirror that needs correction!!
by Edmund Burke, 1729 -1797
