If the butterfly courted the bee,

And the owl the porcupine;

If churches were built in the sea,

And three times one was nine;

If the pony rode his master,

If the buttercups ate the cows,

If the cat had the dire disaster

To be worried by the mouse;

If mama sold the baby

To a gypsy for half a crown;

If a gentleman was a lady,-

The world would be Upside-Down!

If any or all of these wonders

Should ever come about,

I should not consider them blunders,

For I should be Inside-Out!
