Sledgehammer










Photo by screamwithme

The word sledgehammer for some reason brought Shel Silverstein to mind. That and a Hagar the Horrible comic strip that I will hunt down if I can. Sounds like a strange combination , but if you know me its not that far left of center.



MIRROR,MIRROR ~Shel Silverstein


QUEEN: Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?
MIRROR: Snow White, Snow White, Snow White-
I've told you a million times tonight.
QUEEN: Mirror, mirror on the wall,
What will happen if I let you fall?
You'd shatter to bits with a clang and a crash,
Your glass would be splintered-swept out with the trash,
Your frame would be bent, lying here on the floor-
MIRROR: Hey ... go ahead, ask me just once more.
QUEEN: Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?
MIRROR: You-you-It's true,
The fairest of all is you-you-you.
(Whew!)
