Mirror Pond

QUEEN:
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Who is the fairest of them all?

MIRROR:
Snow White, Snow White, snow white--
I’ve told you a million times tonight.

QUEEN:
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
What would happen if I let you fall?
You’d shatter to bit with a clang and a crash,
Your glass would be splintered--swept out with the trash,
Your frame would be bent, lying here on the floor--

MIRROR:
Hey … go ahead, ask me just once more.

QUEEN:

Who ?

MIRROR:
You--you--It’s true
The fairest of all is you--you--you.
(Whew!)

- Shel Silverstein
