I Gaze into My Glass
I gaze into my glass,
And view my perfect skin,
And say, "No crease will come to pass
Injections can't fill in!"
For no one gets distressed
By mere mortality
Who always gets the very best
Cosmetic surgery.
That Time might make me grieve,
I simply can't abide;
And nothing shakes this frame at eve
That cannot be denied.
