Reflection

When I look in the mirror, what do I see?
Can this vision of loveliness, really be me?
A dusting of powder,
A dollop of paint,
Aiming for beauty,
Isn't that quaint?
Look at my tresses,
Are they not fair?
This scarlet ribbon
An enhancement so rare!
When I look in the mirror
What do I see?
A reflection of beauty?
No! - oh dear me....!
Raddled and haggard
My face I behold -
'Gild the lily'?
Yet - I do what I'm told!
I confess I'm not really up to this task...
Let me wipe off this ghastly mask!
