The day the world turned upside down:

when I went to bed with a frown.

when the Presidents had changed and slumber became pained,

when Priminsters had changed and the world just didn’t seem the same

when the mice chased the cats and dogs laughed so loud at the yellow and pink frogs.

when you went to bed in the daytime and got up at night oh what an abslolute delight

when the birds caught the school bus and the cows took flight Dorothy and Toto in their sights

when the moon came out in the middle of the day everyone shouting‘hooray

when the children ruled the world and chocolate ice cream was for free and elephants shrank to the size of a flea.

When the grass rained candy floss up to the sky all rainbow colours then shot back down in cries

When you wanted to laugh but could only cry.

when magic beans were real and we could all climb out from our walls you would eat spiders legs so you could scale the wales

This all happened when the world turned upside down after I went to bed with a frown not a smile.
