My friends Angel Sammys and Teddys Pawetatonhave provided the picture below to inspire our poetry

As she did every morning Elena gazed in the mirror
Given her beauty it did cheer her
And just when her reflection appeared clearer
When suddenly things grew queerer
x
Instead of seeing her own reflection
She saw something that caused her rejection
Before her was an old lady with a pale complexion
And none of Elena’s perfection
X
”What are you doing in my mirror?” Elena asked aloud
It answered ”Don’t you recognize me? I am old but proud.”
Then the answer came to her but left her unbowed
The old lady was her, just not as endowed
X
Elena asked the old lady why she appeared
And it was as the young woman had feared
She began “never to a man revere
Being alone you can persevere”
X
There is nothing wrong with being alone
Neither as a young beauty or an old crone
For only one who puts you first in all things will be the one your heart owns
But you must wait because to you this man in unbeknown
X
Throughout her single life Elena never forgot the monologue
With no human to carry on a life long dialogue
She realized as so as her senior self disappeared into I the mirror’s fog
That the one she was describing could only be a dog

The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"
The lady: "I need it to poison my husband."
The pharmacist's eyes got big and he exclaimed: "Lord have mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"
The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.
The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied: "Oh Well now That's different. You didn't tell me you had
A young lady came home from a date, rather sad. She told her mother, "Jeff proposed to me an hour ago."
"Then why are you so sad?" her mother asked.
"Because he also told me he was an atheist. Mom, he doesn't even believe there's a hell."
Her mother said, "Marry him anyway. Between the two of us, we'll show him how wrong he is."
