^ MIRROR IMAGE ^ I`ve often heard the pot calling the kettle black It makes me smile `cause people have the knack Of forgetting what they said, I`m sure you`ll agree And they hope that others have a short memory. "Hey kettle! You`re black" says the pot "Oh! not as black as you I`m not, Do you think you are whiter than white `cause you are just as black as the night". You`re no saint and neither am I We`ve both made mistakes we can`t deny, Why do we paint each other black Neither are innocent, looking back. "You`re no match for me" Says the kettle "Don`t ever try to test my mettle, I can be devious just like you Let`s stop before more blood is drew." "Are you backing down?" asks the Pot The kettle replies, "Of course I`m not! I`m just trying to make you see sense Let`s put a stop to all this nonsense." We`re so like each other deep down You and I don`t need a showdown, "Let`s put an end to it" the kettle said The pot agreed to put everything to bed. Copyright©2010 Elsie Elsie`s Poetry ~*~ Poet5170
