Fairest of Them All

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall,

who is fairest of them all?"

 

"Human, human, standing there,

please define for me your word 'fair'?"

 

"Mirror, mirror, in front of me,

to be fair is to have beauty."

 

"Human, human, in front of me,

please describe the word 'beauty'?"

 

"Mirror, mirror, listen here,

beauty is looks that catch your eye,

that please the mind,

catch you by surprise."

 

"Human, human, you are wrong.

That is just your opinion,

your argument isn't strong."

"Mirror, mirror, be silent please,

I asked you to answer but one thing."

 

"Human, human, I'm sorry,

but your beauty is relative to only you,

it is not something that I can choose."

 

"Mirror, mirror, you lie to me now.

Surely there's someone to tell me about."

 

"Human, human, yes,

indeed you are human.

Find someone yourself,

I'm afraid I can't help.

To me you are beauty,

for I am otherwise alone,

but surely I am ugly,

with all that you know."

 

"Mirror, oh, mirror, on the wall,

it just might be there is no fairest at all."
