A World Turned Upside-Down

By Bonnie Compton Hanson

Sidewalks are wet all over our town.

Can you guess what I see when I look straight down?

Right under my feet is our mulberry tree,

As upside-down as a tree can be!

Our house is down there! And so is the sky!

And so is our fence! And look—so am I!

First I step on my nose. Now I step on my ears.

Then I splash! And my upside-down world disappears!
