Mirror Man
Mirror Man

I knew a man from the mirror once,
he seemed like any other.
A jovial man, of gentle humour,
he could have been my brother.

Except for this, a quirky gift,
he was able to write backwards,
and forward too and upside down
believe me, it’s no canard.

But worst of all he showed me how
in mirror writing he was adept.
Just think of how he gained these skills;
I tried them too, and wept.

What makes a man devote himself
to talents so obscure?
It baffled me for many a year,
still seems like torture pure.
