TOPSY TURVY LAND (POEM)
H.E.WILKINSON
TOPSY-TURVY LAND
The people walk upon their heads,
The sea is made of sand,
The children go to school by night,
In Topsy-turvy land.
The front-door step is at the back,
You’re walking when you stand,
You wear your hat upon your feet,
In Topsy-turvy Land.
And buses on the sea you’ll meet,
While pleasure boats are planned,
To travel up and down the streets
Of Topsy-turvy Land.
You pay for what you never get,
I think it must be grand,
For when you go you’re coming back,
In topsy-turvy land.
