A visual boost

A man looks in the mirror trying on a hat,

Says to his wife,"Look at me I'm getting old and fat,

Pay me a complement my love and make me feel better."

"Well your eyesight is great can't think of anything better."

Men who seek a compliment
Risk detriment.
To avoid strife
Never ask the wife!

Guess the man who did look in this mirror
To claim he was old and was fat
Did well to perceive it was a mirror
That his eyesight, not wife, told him that ?
