Selfie Obsessed

Selfie aspirations

The constant

Hesitation

At the 20 pictures

Taken

In one

Session

Which one

Can make them

Famous?

 

No longer insanity

Or even vanity

It's just 

The way

It is

 

Let's do a

Head tilt

Then some

Guilty Filtering

So frightening

That the

Lighting's not

Right

Thanks for reading Jason, Do.Rothy and Don.

I will find your Mirrors piece later Jason, I am really interested in reworking fairy tale into modern situations so I'm looking forward to catching up with that.

Apologies to Jason

Mirror mirror on the screen
I'm the bestest I have seen
Why have I been born so beaut?
Why do people call me cute?

(Cos you're stupid....)

Who said that?....

Mirror mirror I'm so cute
(And stupid)
Stupid? NO, I will refute
Here's a picture of my tum
Gonna send it to my mum

(Definitely stupid.....?)

(Allow me a serious comment. The term 'selfie' was invented in Australia. We're not stupid here. Only the users of)

Love this Ruth, being of a certain age I find the whole selfie thing bizzare, I wrote one about it called mirror mirror, because it reminded me so much of the evil Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
