The Heffalump In The Mirror

There's a heffalump in the mirror
I wish you all could see.
The strangest thing I ever saw
Staring back at me.

There's a heffalump in the mirror
It's screwing up its face.
Now it's eyes have widened
And it's stepping back a pace.

There's a heffalump in the mirror
It's nose pressed to the glass.
It's winking one eye slowly
Now it's stifling a gasp!

There's a heffalump in the mirror,
It's face I recognise.
It has those unplucked eyebrows
And dark shadows under eyes.

The heffalump in the mirror
Grimaces in distaste.
Once again I have forgotten
This is my morning face. :(

Bathroom Mirror

Bathroom mirror, All a-mist, Why oh why Do you insist, On pointing out All of my flaws. Might throw you on The bathroom floor. Oh bathroom mirror, Why so mean.

Mirror, Mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall, Who is the prettiest of them all, With wavy blonde hair and bright blue eyes, Someone who doesn't eat too many pies.

Words That Rhyme

I have to write a poem, My poem for the day. But nothing else has happened, There's nothing here to say. Well today, today. I went to the zoo.

Lost The Plot.

I wish I was engaged to Opuss, We'd get on without a fuss. No domestic issues, Then Opuss, I'd never miss you. We care for each other dearly, And so I ask sincerely: Can I marry this paw print app.

To You

I've had a sore throat recently. But I've ignored it greatly. Now I'm sick. So I shall post for you Brits. After reading households,. And posting poems a week old,. New poems shall emerge.

Good Morning.

Welcome to morning. I'm awake and I'm yawning. But my sister sleeps til one, And now I've seen the sun, No matter, a new day is dawning. Happy Wednesday, my friends, of the week.

why...

Why am I awake. It's only half past five. Worked hard yesterday. Barely felt alive. I thought it may have been. Just a toilet break. Oh land of Nod, please take me back. My sanity's at stake.
