Come on already. Here's a poem for that one:<br /><br />When you get what you want in your struggle for self<br />And the world makes you king for a day,<br />Just go to the mirror and look at yourself<br />And see what that man has to say.<br /><br />For it isn’t your father or mother or wife<br />Whose judgment upon you must pass.<br />The fellow whose verdict counts most in you life<br />Is the one staring back from the glass.<br /><br />You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum<br />And think you’re a wonderful guy.<br />But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum<br />If you can’t look him straight in the eye.<br /><br />He’s the fellow to please-never mind all the rest,<br />For he’s with you clear to the end.<br />And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test<br />If the man in the glass is your friend.<br /><br />You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years<br />And get pats on the back as you pass.<br />But your final reward will be heartache and tears<br />If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
