I look in the mirror
And what do I see?
A strange looking person
That cannot be me.
For I am much younger
And not nearly so fat
As that face in the mirror
I am looking at.
Oh, where are the mirrors
That I used to know
Like the ones which were made
Thirty years ago?
Now all things have changed
And I'm sure you'll agree
Mirrors are not as good
As they used to be.
So never be concerned
If the wrinkles appear
For one thing I've learned
Which is very clear:
Should your complexion
Be less than perfection,
It is really the mirror
That needs correction.

TOUGH TO ARGUE WITH THIS ONE
Indian Chief 'Two Eagles' was asked by a white government official, You have observed the white man for 90 years.You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done.
The Chief nodded in agreement.
The official continued, Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?
The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied:
When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water.
Women did all the work, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex.
Then the chief leaned back and smiled... "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."
The Chief nodded in agreement.
