Nonsense Poem

Once in a while, if you find yourself in a hostile world
Just turn around once,
Then turn again twice
Until you've swirled and twirled and
You're not where you were just before

Then be on your way with a step and a sway
For there's the trick
To making a switch
When you're up on your toes or down on your nose
You're ready for whatever's in store

"But what does it matter" you say to the Hatter
"If things upside down
Were once turned around
Is anything real when peals of laughter appeal
To the heart of a story conceived by a Puck?"

But if that's what ensues, best beware of the blues
They come on quick
With a bag of tricks
So when you're stuck just throw on some words and scenes and aquamarines
And with a bang you'll hang from a hat brim of luck.
