 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

THE WEB TIGHTENS AND BECOMES RIDDLE


For years she looked in the mirror
She was a skinny girl but saw a fat girl
So she dieted looked in the mirror
She was a fat girl and saw a skinny girl
She looked in the mirror she sees wrinkles
But still a young girl at heart
The years went by the mirror always lied
Then one day she looked in the mirror
Satisfied for the first time at the image
You see the years went by and did it matter?
Because when she looks in the mirror
She sees grey hair, laughing children on her lap
And she knows who she is---Grandma!
Grandpa he has always been fat
But when he looked in the mirror
Little kids sat on his lap and he was Santa Claus
You gotta know your limitations

Signed

Superman ah--Dandy
PS: The older you get the better I wuz!
