One day when I was studying late night for my exams, I saw that the books were flying in my room. The lamp was singing a melodious song. Suddenly, the lights started blinking and there was rain outside. The table was running after the chair. The chair was playing a guitar. The topsy turvy scene blew my mind off.

• Puran was flying the brand new kite in the park.
• Some children stood and screamed, and some ran to the Director of the zoo.

• The lion had not eaten anyone, because the shoe was one of the lion’s toys.

This poem is about a strange Land where everything is upside down. The sea is full of sand and the children go to school at night. One can find the front door step at the back and people walk when they are standing. Hat is not found on head but on feet. Buses run on the sea and boats in the streets. People have to pay for what they do not get and they go when they actually come back.
