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!
