Topsy Turvy

I do not know why I woke up very early today Soon I saw that it was a strange new day!

Nothing at all was as it really should be And I could hear someone shouting loudly at me!

Our cot had climbed right up the wall And my little clock had grown very tall!

Our umbrella was twirling madly round and round My red and blue cap was making a clicking sound!

What on earth has happened to our little room? I fear I am going to faint very soon!

The fan has turned into a big octopus My sister's doll is eating dal and rice without a fuss.

Our cat is sitting up in Papa's chair And look! A mouse is reading the news on the air!

In the mirror - Aah! See! I am seven feet high! I know I am going to loudly cry!

But now look! Here comes a magic man “Sorry! Sorry!” he says, “I will do what I can!”

“Yes, yes! It was I who made this little mess It was not so nice of me, I do confess!”

So Abra-ca-da-dabra chin chin choo! Room! Get back in order - one - three - two!
