Portrait of a Tired, Old Man
Looked into the mirror,
And what did I see?
A tired, weary soul looking at me.
Head was bald.
Teeth were yellow.
The person in the mirror
Was not a jolly good fellow.
With hair growing out of his ears and his nose,
This tired, old man wore wrinkled, stained clothes.
Of course this poor man was a reflection of me,
I would have looked longer, but I had to go pee.
