Summary: It seemed to mock


A fancy man looked in a mirror
And his smile became a frown
Though he was dressed so nattily
His pants were on upside down

Then a lady in it looked
To check her fine red lipstick
But her lips looked so black and green
The bleak vision turned her sick

It seemed no matter who did look
The mirror was quite cursed
Though everyone looked all their best
Reflected, they were the worst

So did this mirror lie to them
Or did it the truth tell
It seemed to mock: "Oh, stylish ones
You all do look like Hell"
