Mirror mirror on the wall Who is the fairest of them all? What's that you say... I need a overhaul? I try to take good care of myself With the latest gadgets lining my shelf I buy tons of cream to grease my face Spend a bloody fortune on my makeup base It's really sad how low I'll stoop (My false eyelash once fell in my soup!) I prod and preen to please my men To get a compliment now and then When out to dine, it's always a fight It must be dim...with candlelight My bra's too tight but it lifts my sags Wear sunglasses in the rain To hide my bags I totter around in the highest of heels You men should wear them To know how it feels I may be older, but oh how I try To catch the eye of some old guy Now you tell me it's all for naught I've wasted my money for all I've bought You dear mirror have me really shook So to HELL with you...I just won't look! ![]() Grandma Bea |

Thanks Sunshine. Vanity, thy name is woman. I tell my kids all the time, that if my hair and makeup aren't done to my liking when I'm laid out, I'll sit up and do it myself! ![]() Bea |
