In Upside-Down World

by BermyBye50

 

Cats wear hats and sing in packs,

Lazy hunting dogs daily purr,

All clocks spin counterclockwise,

As time becomes a hazy blur.

*****

Weekdays end right at sunrise,

Squirrels fly like hummingbirds,

Cows in aprons bake cute cakes,

And no one finds it absurd.

*****

The moon laughs at the sky,

Fish ride bikes on the street,

Chickens dance a Viennese waltz,

Tree roots walk on nimble feet.

*****

Chairs sit on people's laps,

Books read themselves aloud,

Bears dance a fancy funny jig,

 And daisy petals fall from clouds.

*****

Clock hands spin backward,

Kids teach their parents math,

Elephants clumsily walk sideways,

And bubbles take warm baths.

*****

Race horses drive fast cars,

Stars twinkle bright at noon,

Mountains play double-dutch,

Flowers sing fragrant tunes.

*****

Fish swim through airy skies,

Birds backstroke in calm seas,

Trees grow roots in the clouds,

And butterflies buzz like bees.

*****

Books read to people with a grin,

Mirrors reflect imaginary themes,

In a world turned upside-down,

By silly topsy-turvy daydreams.
