WEE THREE illustration by Hazel Mitchell: "Upside Down Land"

UP-SIDE-DOWN LAND

When tired of games and pictures too,

And all my books I've read 

And I can't think what else to do 

I stand upon my head

Then I pretend in some strange lands

Across a Faerie Sea,

The people all walk on their hands,

Not right-side-up, like me

And then I wonder how they'd sleep 

Up-side-down upon their beds,

And how they'd ever, ever keep 

Their hats upon their heads

I wonder too, if in these lands,

The folks upon the street,

Would wear their shoes upon their hands,

Their gloves upon their feet

But mother says if they appeared,

And met me on the street

They'd laugh, she's sure, and think me weird; 

For walking on my feet
