Analysis of Mirror Mirror on the wall ( Children's poem )
Mirror Mirror on the wall,
Who is the cleverest of them all?
Mirror sighs and Mirror says,
study first and you will know
Why you want the cleverest be?
Dreaming rich and famous be
Not as easy said than done
Getting rich is a hard strike dung
Becoming rich is just a dream
Going to school is reality cream
Make your notes scoring grades
Passing high schools you shall grads
Mirror smiles and Mirror says
Schools to go and shall be for
Study hard and study smart
Future comes with sunny stars
Colleges and universities, where all sow
Grads in PhD, a professional proud to show
Richness and cleverest cant make you be
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, what then I should be
