THE TOWN OP UPSIDE-DOWN.
I know the very queerest place, Its name is "Upside-down." ( It isn't like our place at all, But is the weirdest town. When the children go to bed They throw their clothes around, And everything that should grow up Grows down into the-ground. The peopla eat their pudding first, And thqp come back for soup They eat their porridge with a fork, And when they walk they stoop. The houses are all .crooked and things Lie everywhere. The beds are in the kitchens, And yet they do not carc. So if you are untidy And do not do things right, One morning you will wake to find You've shifted in the night. And when you look about you You will sadly sigh and frpwn, For you will be in that queerest place— The town of Upside-down. —By EDNA TURNER.
