Mrs Potato Head Mrs Potato Head's image surprised That can't be me it's someone else I see I still feel young in my heart and pint-sized The mirror tells lies, it’s true believe me. That can't be me it's someone else I see She'd an idea that'd get weight shifted The mirror tells lies, it’s true believe me Then cut herself to a chip, weight lifted. She'd an idea that'd get weight shifted I still feel young in my heart and pint-sized Then cut herself to a chip, weight lifted Mrs Potato Head's image surprised. 18th July 2021 Pantoum Rhyme 1 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Eve Roper Image no. 3

"Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest of them all?" A cute poem, so many of us can relate to. I enjoyed it. :)

Thank you Anne-Lise, it’s good that mirrors don’t tell the truth, especially when like me there’s more time been spent than there is to spend… Belle
