One Thing Is Not As It Seems

The front door is the opening of a box,
A spy is a sleuthing fox.
Mobile phones are friend trackers,
Stray cats are back packers.
A photo is a living memory,
Running out of breath in a race is the enemy.
Chairs are frozen trolls,
Superstars are barbie dolls.
Lit candles are stolen stars from the sky,
The Mona Lisa will never die.
One thing is not always the same as another,
But sheep will always stick by each other!
