Subj:     Mirror Mirror - Poem (S649b)
          From: LABLaughsClean - 5/27/2009

 Mirror, mirror on the wall,
    Do you have to tell it all?
 Where do you get the glaring right
    To make my clothes look just too tight?
 I think I'm fine but I can see
    you won't co-operate with me;
 The way you let the shadows play,
    You'd think my hair was getting grey
 What's that, you say?  A double chin?
    No, that's the way the light comes in;
 If you persist in peering so,
    You'll confiscate my facial glow,
 And then if you're not hanging straight,
    You'll tell me next I'm gaining weight;
 I'm really quite upset with you,
    For giving this distorted view;
 I hate you being smug and wise...
    O, look what's happened to my thighs!
 I warn you now, O mirrored wall,
    Since we're not on speaking terms at all,
 If I look like this in my new jeans,
    You'll find yourself in smithereens!!

Subj:     Slow Dance Poem (S614c)
          by David L. Weatherford
          From: hellgunner50 on 10/10/2008
 Source: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/medical/slowdance.asp

 Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round,
 or listened to rain slapping the ground?

 Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight,
 or gazed at the sun fading into the night?

 You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
 time is short, the music won't last.

 Do you run through each day on the fly,
 when you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply?

 When the day is done, do you lie in your bed,
 with the next hundred chores running through your head?

 You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
 time is short, the music won't last.

 Ever told your child, we'll do it tomorrow,
 and in your haste, not see his sorrow?

 Ever lost touch, let a friendship die,
 'cause you never had time to call and say hi?

 You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
 time is short, the music won't last.

 When you run so fast to get somewhere,
 you miss half the fun of getting there.

 When you worry and hurry through your day,
 it's like an unopened gift thrown away.

 Life isn't a race, so take it slower,
 hear the music before your song is over.

 Slow Dance poem was written NOT by a "terminally ill
 young girl in a New York Hospital" who wanted "as her
 dying wish to send a letter telling everyone to live
 their life to the fullest," but by David L. Weatherford,
 an adult male child psychologist.
