I waved. I rubbed the mirror with my sleeve.

No matter what I tried, he simply wouldn't leave.

I also thought it was very queer.

The hair stopped growing atop his head and was growing out of each ear!

Who was this imposter, and what is he doing there,

this man of age with silver in his hair?

 

Why is my mirror doing this to me?

Having this old man staring back at me?
