A Topsy Turvy Tale ~ by Aubrey Hopwood
Illustrated by Maud Trelawny

London / New York 1900
A Million miles from Anywhere
Is Topsy Turvy Land,
Where trees have roots that grow in air,
And branches in the sand;
The skies are green instead of blue,
And happy people frown;
For every single thing they do
Is always upside down.
A hundred thousand years ago,
The people woke one night;
They always slept all day, you know,
So this was only right.
Each native stood upon his head
And racked his addled pate:
"Our country's upside down," they said,
"How can we put it straight ?"
