A Tale of Two Mirrors
The mirror that hung in the hall
Posed problems, for you and for me.
Although it looked chic on the wall;
On that point we both could agree.
But you said, “This just will not do!
I can’t see my nose nor my mouth!
I put this proposal to you:
We move this thing six inches south!”
I looked in the mirror and said,
“I’m sorry, but I don’t agree.
I can’t see the top of my head!
The mirror needs raising, you see.”
These problems were quickly resolved,
With only a soupçon of thought.
Some outlay was clearly involved.
A much LARGER mirror was bought!
