To See Ourselves

asks us to write about a mirror-image in 100 words (more or less).

TO SEE OURSELVES

Sometimes I look in the mirror
And I like what I can see.
A smiling, bright, attractive person
Smiles right back at me.
Sometimes I look in the mirror
And I see a sad old hag,
Whose face is full of wrinkles
Like a crumpled paper bag.
Sometimes I see a credit face,
Sometimes a debit vision.
Sometimes I view myself with glee,
And sometimes with derision.
I rarely look in the mirror
And see my averageness.....
A plain but pleasant lady....
No more,
No less.

RACE BASE


Swimmers at our local pool
Have to learn to keep the rule,
Lining up before each race,
Each one in a special place.
Organisation! That's the thing!
Not jumping the gun with a mighty spring!
Swimmers everywhere are the same;
They have to play a numbers game.
