The Guy In The Glass

by Dale Wimbrow


When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.

For it isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Who judgement upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.

He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.

You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
And think you're a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.

You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the guy in the glass.



I heard this poem today in English class, and I really liked it. Upon finding this poem on the internet, I discovered that there are many misquoted and uncredited versions of it out there. It was also said to have been written by an anonymous prisoner on the wall in death row. It is actually written by Dale Wimbrow, but that doesn't take away from its vigor.

Stupid Necklace...

03/05 19:38:34 NightWing87: jaime examined the ground to find the remains of a hand, holding a necklace, silver, beautiful, untouched by the flames.

03/05 19:38:40 Dragonus: OHGOD

03/05 19:38:42 Dragonus: ITS EVIL

03/05 19:38:43 Dragonus: ITS EVIL

03/05 19:38:46 Dragonus: GET RID OF IT

03/05 19:38:48 Jagger: sweet....

03/05 19:38:59 Dragonus: actually,keep it

03/05 19:39:05 NightWing87: the hand was of a woman, and the hand gripping the necklace seemed as if it wasn't touched by the flames.

03/05 19:39:14 NightWing87: Jaime was intrigued by this.

03/05 19:39:30 NightWing87: as he touched it, he felt immortal.

03/05 19:39:36 NightWing87: A. take it

03/05 19:39:38 NightWing87: B. leave it

03/05 19:39:54 Jagger: A!

03/05 19:40:06 Dragonus: take it!

03/05 19:40:13 gokon: leave it the fuck alone

03/05 19:40:14 NightWing87: Jaime quickly picked it up, and put it on, and it immeadietly glowed.

03/05 19:40:22 Jagger: YAY!

03/05 19:40:26 Dragonus: woo!

03/05 19:40:28 gokon: it's either gonna be awesome or it'll screw you over

03/05 19:40:31 NightWing87: in the distance, Ian's ears twitched once more, but this time, it was a different noise.

03/05 19:40:33 gokon: i'm betting on bad

03/05 19:40:42 NightWing87: he heard war horns no less then a mile away.

03/05 19:40:46 NightWing87: and that wasn't the worse part

03/05 19:40:52 NightWing87: the worst part - was - it came from the south.

03/05 19:40:55 gokon: you fucktards

03/05 19:40:59 gokon: why did you take that?

03/05 19:41:09 Jagger: oh FUUUUCK

03/05 19:41:10 NightWing87: Ian stared off, as he heard all kinds of noises, unable to pinpoint what  was coming for them.

03/05 19:41:34 Dragonus: let's do this shit

03/05 19:41:35 gokon: FUCKING TOLD YOU

03/05 19:41:35 NightWing87: shortly afterwards, a wave of dragons glazed the sky overhead, as the crowd of dragons circled the boys.

03/05 19:41:38 Dragonus: josh, i have any spells yet?

03/05 19:41:41 NightWing87: Nothing.

03/05 19:41:42 Dragonus: DRAGONS

03/05 19:41:43 Jagger: xD

03/05 19:43:06 NightWing87: Jaime took off, slowly running with the necklace, impaired by the weight of his shield.
