About this poem

Just a silly poem that came to mind after seeing an old picture that I haven’t viewed in many many years…And it has nothing at all to do with an old Bloody Mary poem…”And that’s all I have to say about that…”So much for “Your so vain”…Maybe I was wrong about so many others as well…
