Mirror Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
     Do you have to tell it all?
Where do you get the glaring right
     To make my clothes look just too tight?
I think I'm fine but I can see
     you won't co-operate with me;
The way you let the shadows play,
     You'd think my hair was getting grey
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!!
