I looked in the mirror
and what did I see
an old wrinkly face
looking back at me
over the past ten years
I've aged quite considerably
my looks aren't as pretty
as they once used to be
the mirror has told me
there is a lot of loose skin
and I have developed
a substantial double chin
my youthful ****** features
have completely disappeared
the signs of haggardness
are even present on my ears
from this day forward
I'll hold no more mirror consultations
as the truth that it expresses
causes much irritation
