Funny, I Don't Remember Getting Old...

Looked in the mirror
And what a surprise
A little ole lady
Was starring right into my eyes.
I faced her in the mirror
And spoke in a voice so bold
"I'm sorry, do I know you?
I don't remember getting old..."
She had on my blouse
And she was using my toothpaste
So I thought I must do something
To settle this post haste.
So I brushed her hair
And put lipstick on her face
(Didn't want her to appear
As a person in disarray or disgrace!)
I left the room and looked back
Expecting to see
Some old lady standing there
But she must have left with me!
