WOMAN IN THE MIRROR

I look in the mirror and a man's face I see With masculine pride looking back at me On close inspection I perceive a MO A single hair sprouts on my chin below We know Adam's rib did fashion Eve But why set out us girls to deceive Did nature conspire with celestial beings To bring us down and shatter our dreams Will presents now be shaving lotions No fancy perfumes creams and potions I've finally come to this conclusion We live our lives in complete delusion Now why do men not experience the change This quirk of nature does seem very strange They look more distinguished as they grow old With inflated egos they become more bold They say cross dressing is all the rage A whole new chapter a brand new page!

The country is devastated over the bombing Cecilia.......even more so our area........it's disturbing to know that it happened so close to where we live...but life has to go on........one of the fatalities is a young 15 yr old girl known to one of our friends........so very, very sad...
