TOPSY-TURVY WORLD.
(Sent in by Estelle Chalmers, Gray .Mangere East, Otahunu; age 11-) If the butterfly courted the bee, And the owl the porcupine; If churches wefe built iu the sea, And three times one were nine. If the pony rode his master, If the buttercups ate the cows; If the cat had the dire disaster To be worried, sir, by the mouse. If mamma, sir, sold the baby. To a gipsy for half-a-crown; If a gentleman, sir, was a lady, The world would be upside dowa. If any of all these wonders Should ever come about, I should not consider them blunders, For I should be inside out.
