I lived in a funny town
Where everything was upside down!
The birds walked and the humans flew
Where the trees were totally blue!
![Upside Down [Illustrations by Amarjeet Malik]](/media/poem-upside-down-1.jpg)
Trees talked and laughed a lot
They stole each other’s fruit and fought
The bear was gentle, kind and sweet
He never ever ate raw meat!
Fishes went to school in a pool
Where a frog principal ruled!
![Upside Down [Illustrations by Amarjeet Malik]](/media/poem-upside-down-2.jpg)
Water was blue and the sky flew
And told me in life always be true!
In this funny town, upside down,
Nobody cried nor ever frowned.
