"When I look in the mirror," said Fred,
"And I see my reflection, instead
Of the sight of my face
I see, in its place,
A view of the back of my head."
Said his wife, "I'm avoiding that glass,
And hope such anomalies pass.
When I tried it, instead
Of a view of my head
I was 'faced' with a view of my a***."

Tell it like it is, girl! LOL
ReplyDeleteOh, I do, Jinksy!
DeleteWhy did she see her ankle?
ReplyDeleteI see now. I saw an asterisk too many.
I'll keep off the drink.
By the way this is an early example of Droste.
You have a gift for this malarkey.
Perish the thought, Adrian, that I should be pedantic or, Frances, that I should use the vehicle of your blog for such pedantry or contradiction of a fellow commenter but I don't think that is the Droste effect. The old Persil (I think it was Persil) washing powder packet had a picture of a Persil washing powder packet and it went on and on: a picture within a picture. I am always open to correction (I've got to that age) but I think that was the Droste effect.
DeleteThank you, Adrian (I think).
DeleteGB, there should be a comma after "commenter". Please leave poor Adrian alone. He's doing his best, bless him.
DeleteGraham, you are correct. I think it was a cocoa advert though.
DeleteThank you Frances...I think.
Funny stuff here!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Charleen!
DeleteHaha! Brilliant! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Freya.
DeleteOh Frances, you are such a delight. Thanks for the laugh that just burst out of my belly and shook me with mirth. You rock!
ReplyDeleteBut sadly, Magaly, silly poems are the only ones I can write. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteHaha the ending made me laugh..
ReplyDeleteAs always, Frances, you have an inventive way of interpreting Magpie.
ReplyDeleteGB, every week I look at the Magpie, and try to resist as its such a waste of time. But then I just have to do it. (I known there's a missing apostrophe, so I'll save you the trouble of telling me.)
Deletehaha... this is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cate!
ReplyDeleteThe little spats you have with Adrian and GB are almost as entertaining as your magpie poem. Keep 'em coming.
ReplyDeleteDon't blame me, Maggie. It's not my fault if those two choose to quarrel on MY blog.
DeleteOh ho! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathe!
DeleteYou are a never-ending font of funny!
ReplyDeleteYou're very kind , Helen.
DeleteHehehe.... Great fun!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant fun smiley write Frances.
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
Thank you, Anna.
DeleteROFL - here we were being all serious and you come out with such a gem.
ReplyDeleteI can just see that guy in the mirror turn round and laughing his head off! No, mister, don't do it or there will be no reflection at all LOL
Loved it to bits ~ Eddie
