Second Opinion

Hello there! Yes, we meet again. I thought I knew you, dear.

How nice that we should both decide to spend a few days here.

How wide awake you seem today, you've been so tired of late.

I feel I ought to mention though you have put on some weight.

That hairstyle's not your usual, dear. You're trying something new?

Well when one's hair is thinning, there is little one can do.

And what a lovely outfit, too! Oh yes, you're very wise

to stick to looser garments, dear, when one has hips your size

You've still not found your style, I see. Ah well, life's not so bad.

At least one cannot miss, dear, what one has never had.

Come on, let's go and mingle, best show some circumspection.

We wouldn't want the world to know you talk to your reflection.
