The World Upside Down

In this our world of great renown,
So many things are upside down.

Pious divines preach evolution
And kings join the revolution.

Rich men support with their banknotes
Men sworn to cut the rich men’s throats.

Comedians make you rather weep,
Orators leave you sound asleep.

Queens who dance to cheer their clowns,
Men in jungles, beasts in towns.

There are rocks that fly and stars that fall,
But what astounds you most of all?

There are girls, and sometimes, even boys,
Who play with their food and eat their toys!
