30 poems in 30 days challenge! Day 22
The sign in the window says
"The Turvy-Topsy Emporium"
I entered in, then stood amazed
The Walking Stairs just had me dazed
Curios hung ceiling to floor
Mid air, there hung another door
I jumped for it, but fell right through
Clinks and clanks as curios flew
Such things as I had never seen
Such things that I just never knew!
White pepper, black snow
Sweating hot, an Eskimo
A freakish fish, nor tail nor fins
A dismal cherub with countless sins
A crooning crow, a cawing conebill
Serenading the nightingale
Herself, a most precocious thing,
She stood as tall as Mount Basin
A paradox as straight as A
A meter's just a mile away
A smell I see is greenish blue
A sight I smell is cheese fondue
Half-heartedly
I fall to the floor
For as I come around I know
The Topsy Turvy is no more!
