Vanity

This is a  short poem that I think everyone will relate to; it is just whether you are the red font or the black font.

This could be continued...

Merry Christmas everyone xxxx

Red font: the voice of Vanity

Black font: Everyone who does not fancy themselves

Hello beautiful in the mirror there!

Your immeasurable prettiness too much

To bear,

I’ll capture this sight with my electronic eye,

Then subject the social world in hope of reply,

A comment of admiration, or a simple ‘like’,

Either will do: as long as you’re polite

Strangely enough we do not care,

About your luscious looks or your pretty hair,

The mirror you see as a constant state,

But unfortunately your highness, this is not the case

Your hair will wither, and your skin will crack,

What a shock that will be, when ageing attacks,

I don’t suppose you will take pictures when

You experience this fright?

I welcome the day, when I can click ‘dislike’
