as I approach the magic mirror  
the ripples race across its surface  
as if the glass is getting nervous  
the image isn't getting clearer

I hear a muffled groan: please stop it  
you know that I don't like this game  
I just might crack some day, so drop it  
you'll only have yourself to blame

please calm yourself, you ancient djinny  
I tell the tepid magic creature  
I find the ripples your best feature  
just checking if I'm getting skinny

damn you and your accursed empire  
the mirror says, its voice annoyed  
how did I wind up with a vampire  
I should have stayed and worked for Freud
