As I stare into the mirror
It rudely stares back at me
There are wrinkles and spots enough to connect the dots
Where smooth skin used to be

Which got my mind a-twirling
Past its normal rate of speed
If you look hard you'll find this wasn't overnight
It came on gradually

Which had me deeply thinking
Of the possibility
Of an alien abduction
That completely wiped my memory

Where all this time I've been missing
I've been light-years lost in space
Here I am just guessing
But it would explain this face

And why I don't remember
Over half my age
My memory was ****** from me
By little green men from Outerspace

And I just got back from Planet "X"
Where they did dastardly deeds on me
Before dropping me off in front of this mirror
That keeps staring rudely back at me
